| Diffraction | The change in direction of a wave when it encounters ans obstacle or edge. |
| Refraction | The bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another angle. |
| Standing wave | A pattern of vibration that resembles a stationary wave. |
| Reflection | The bouncing back of a wave when it meets a surface or boundary. |
| Constructive interference | Interference that increases amplitude. |
| Destructive interference | Interference that decreases amplitude. |
| Principle of superposition | Method of adding crests and troughs of interfering waves together that describe a new wave. |
| Beats | Sounds produced by the interference of sound waves that are used to tune piano strings. |
| Interference | The combination of two of more waves that results in a signal wave. |
| Nodes | Points in a standing wave that have no vibration. |
