Compresional Wave | mechanical wave that causes particles to in matter to move back and forth along the direction the wave travels. |
Wave Length | distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point moving with the same speed and direction. |
Frequency | number of wave lengths that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz. |
Law of Refraction | states that the anglethe incomingwave makes with the normal to the reflecting surface equals the anglethe reflected wave makes with the surface. |
