| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| diffraction | the change in direction of a wave when it encounters and obsticals or edge |
| refraction | the bending of waves they pass from one medium to another at an angle |
| standing wave | a pattern of vibration that resembles a stationary wave |
| reflection | the bouncing back of a wave when it meets a surface or boundary |
| constructive int | interference that decrease amplitude |
| destructive int | interference that decrease amplitude |
| principle of superposition | method of adding crests and troughs of interfering together to describe a new wave |
| beats | sounds produced by the inference of sound waves that are |
| interference | the combonation of two or more wave that result in a single wave |
| nodes | points in a standing wave that have no vibration due to destructive interference |
| the combonation of two or more waves that result in a single wave | inferred |
