Waves Chapter 1 Test
Wave
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A disturbance that transfers energy from place too place | Wave |
| Mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to | Move |
| the speed of a wave is its wave length times its | Frequency |
| The bending of waves due to the change in speed is called | refraction |
| The bending of waves around the edge of a barrier is known as | Diffraction |
| The interaction between two waves that meet is called | Interference |
| Waves combine to make a wave with larger amplitude in process is called | Constructive |
| when an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still, the result is a | Standing Wave |
| What occurs when vibrations traveling threw an object match the objects natural frequency | Resonance |
| A wave travels threw a medium bcs | Energy passes from particle to particle |
| Mechanical waves are classified according to | how they move |
| frequency is measured in units called | HZ |
| When a wave hits a surface through witch it CANNOT pass and bounces back, it undergoes | Reflation |
