Wave
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place | Wave |
| Mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to | Move |
| The speed of a wave is its wavelength times its | Frequency |
| The bending of waves due to change in speed | Refraction |
| Bending of waves around the edge of a barrier | Diffraction |
| Interaction between two waves that meet | Interference |
| Waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude | Constructive |
| When a incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in a way that the combines wave appears to be standing still. | Standing Wave |
| Occurs when vibrations traveling threw an object match the objects natural frequency. | Resonance |
| A wave travels threw a medium because | Energy passes from particle to particle |
| Mechanical waves are classified according to | how they move |
| Frequency is measured in units called | Hertz / Hz |
| When a wave hits a object that it can not pass and bounces back | Reflection |
| Waves combine to produce a smaller amplitude wave | Destructive Interference |
| Why do you see lightning before Thunder | Light travels faster then sound |
| Compression and Refractions are characteristic to | Longitudinal wave |
