A disturbances that transfers energy from place to place Is called a | wave |
mechanical waves are created when a source of energy caused a medium to | move |
the speed of a wave is its wavelength multiplied by its | frequency |
the bending of a wave due to change in speed is called | refraction |
the bending of waves round the edge of a barrier is known as | diffraction |
the interaction between two waves they meet is called | interference |
waves that combine to make a wave with larger amplitude in a process called | constructive |
when an incoming wave combines with the reflected in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still, the result is a | standing wave |
What occurs when vibrations traveling through an object match the object’s natural frequency? | resonant frequency |
How do mechanics waves travel through a medium? | particle to particle |
Mechanical waves are classified according to | how they move |
