Doppler Affect Apparent change in frequency when a source moves either towards or away from you.
Bow waves Known as Wall barrier. When two waves are directly on top of one another producing a "wall"
shock wave Three dimension wave caused by overlapping spheres that form a cone shape from objects traveling faster then the speed of sound.
sonic boom a loud explosive noise caused by the shock wave from an aircraft traveling faster than the speed of sound.
blue shift When an object is moving towards you moving, the motion of the shifting is faster then the speed of which it is spinning a blue shift of light can be seen.

sine curve a picture representation of a wave
crest the high points of the sine wave
trough the low points of a sine wave
wave speed the speed with which waves travels in a given time

transverse wave a wave that vibrates in a 90 degree angle in a medium
light waves and water waves are what type of waves? transverse waves
longitudinal wave a parallel vibration in a medium
sound waves are what type? longitudinal
wave interference when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium
destructive interference When the highest point of a waves antinode combines with an antinode of the lowest point and cancel each other out
standing wave when two sets of identical waves pass through the medium in opposite directions.
node The point in a wave where there is no movement in the wave.
antinode The highest or lowest peak on a wave.
