| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
