| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The change in direction of a wave when it encounters and obstacle or edge | Diffraction |
| The bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another at an angle | Refraction |
| A pattern of vibration that resembles a stationary wave | Standing wave |
| The bouncing back of a wave when it meets a surface or boundary | Reflection |
| Interference that increases amplitude | Constructive Int |
| interference that decreases amplitude | Destructive Int |
| Method or adding crests and troughs of interfering waves together to describe a new wave | Principle of Superposition |
| Sounds produced by the inference of sound waves that are used to tune piano strings | Beats |
| The combination of two or more wave that results in a single wave | Interference |
| Points in a standing wave that have no vibration due to destructive interference | Nodes |
| Depends on the frequency of a wave | Pitch |
| The science sound is called | Acoustics |
| A vibration that travels through the air | Sound |
| Frequencies below those of audible sound | Infrasonic |
| Involving sound waves with a frequency above the upper limit | Ultrasonic |
| A change in the frequency with which waves from the source reach an observer when they both move away from each other | Doppler |
