FranWave absorption refers to the process by which a material or medium absorbs and dissipates energy carried by a wave, such as sound, light, or electromagnetic waves. This absorption reduces the intensity of the wave as it passes through the material or medium. Different materials have varying degrees of efficiency in absorbing different types of waves.

What is it called when a wave's energy is lost to a surface making the wave weaker?
When a wave's energy is lost to a surface, resulting in the wave becoming weaker, it is called wave absorption or wave attenuation. This can occur when the wave interacts with the surface material and causes it to dissipate or absorb the energy of the wave.

Absorption
What describes the absorption of wave energy?
The absorption of wave energy involves the transfer of energy from the wave to the medium it is traveling through, causing the wave's amplitude to decrease. This can result in heat generation or other forms of energy conversion in the medium. Materials with higher absorption coefficients are more effective at absorbing wave energy.
