ABSORPTION WAVES: Water absorbs almost all the infrared energy from sunlight, so a possible answer for absorption is light absorption through water which will later on heat up the water.
TRANSMISSION WAVES: pool water waves passing a shallow area continue with their energy mostly unchanged.
REFLECTION WAVES: surface of water reflects light.
REFRACTION WAVES: waves will bend away from normal if the waves move from a denser medium to a less dense medium which applies to Snell’s law.
Due to the obvious refraction, the diver's head appears to be separated from his body. Absorption takes place when some of the colors are absorbed, causing the snorkel to appear yellow or greenish. The sun, sky, sound, and light are all reflected. The light entering the water is referred to as transmission.
