| Compressional Wave | mechanical wave that causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the direction the wave travels
🗑
|
||||
| law of reflection | states that the angle the incoming wave makes with the normal to reflecting surface equals
🗑
|
||||
| pitch | The quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the degree of highness or lowness of a tone.
🗑
|
||||
| refraction | Change in direction of propagation of any wave as a result of its traveling at different speeds at different points along the wave front.
🗑
|
||||
| frequency | The rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample.
🗑
|
||||
| intensity | The quality of being intense: "the pain grew in intensity".

||||
| ultraviolet wave | (Ultraviolet waves) Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light
🗑
|
||||
| electromagnetic spectrum | Of or relating to the interrelation of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields.
🗑
|
||||
| electromagnetic waves | (electromagnetic wave) electromagnetic radiation: radiation consisting of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields.
🗑
|
||||
| diffraction | The process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture.
🗑
|
||||
| reverberation | echo: the repetition of a sound resulting from reflection of the sound waves; "she could hear echoes of her own footsteps".
🗑
|
||||
| transverse waves | A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
🗑
