| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Resonant Frequency | Frequency at which a Standing waves occur. |
| Longitudinal Wave | Wave in which the motion if the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave. |
| Transverse Wave | Waves in which the motion of the medium is at a right angles to the direction of the wave. |
| Refraction | Bending of Waves to due change in speed. |
| Diffraction | The bending of waves around obstacles |
| Standing Wave | A wave that does not appear to be moving at the natural frequency of the material. |
| Surface Wave | A wave that consists of a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves and occurs at the surface between two different mediums. |
| The highest point of a wave is the______. | Crest |
| The lowest point of a wave is called the________. | Trough |
| The distance from one wave to the other is called a | Wave Length |
| The _________ is a measure of the number of waves that pass a point in a given timw | Frequency |
