Wave:

"When radio or television waves pass through the walls of a house, when light waves pass through a window or a lens, there are always some comprehensively relayed local jostlings, some sets of submicroscopic eddies of force, that accommodate the push through. The complementary effect-- what in conversational language is the 'resistance' of the wall, window or lens-- and what" in Synergetics "is called 'the precessionally shunted pattern relay'-- is responsible for reflection, refraction, and filtering."
