Inside a Circular Reflector

Description:  The curved barrier has been bent into a perfect circle and a circular wave is generated at the origin. The video was produced at 15 frames per second.
 

Questions

1.  What angle is made by the (any) radius and the cirle at the point where the circle and radius intersect. -- This is a geometry refresher question and not necessarily shown in the video.

2.  Use your answer to part 1 and the ideas you have developed in the previous four sections to explain why the circular wave reflects and returns to its origin.
