The study of sound is called...? acoustics
Reflections of sound are called...? reverberations
What is it called when a wave bends when it crosses the boundary between two media? refraction
Do waves travel faster in deep or shallow water? shallow
What represents the postitions of different waves? wave fronts
When do sound refractions occur? uneven winds and changes in temperature
Does sound travel faster in warm or cold air? warm

What happends when the angle of incidence is larger than the critical angle? total interbal reflection
What is the critical angle? the angle of incidence at which the light is reflected at an angle of 90 degrees
when there is a critical angle the intensity of the emerging beam is...? zero

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
