| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place is called a | Wave |
| Mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to | Move |
| The speed of a wave is its wavelength multiplied by it | Frequency |
| The bending of waves due to a change in speed is called | Refraction |
| The bending of ways around the edge of a barrier is known as | Diffraction |
| The interaction between two waves that meet is called | Interference |
| Waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude in a process called | Constructive interference |
| When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave 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 | Resonance |
| How do mechanic's waves travel through a medium | Buy vibrations of particles transfering |
| Mechanical waves are classified according to | How the particles of the medium move |
| Frequency is measured in the units called | herts |
| When a wave hits a surface through which it cannot pass and bounces back it undergoes | Reflection |
| Waves combine to produce a smaller or zero amplitude wave in a process called | destructive interreference |
| Why do you see lightning from a distance storm before you hear thunder | Light travels faster than sound |
| Compressions and rare fractions are characteristics of what type of wave | longitude |
| The distance between two consecutive crests of a wave is called the | wavelength |
| What's a complete wave look like | One crest one trought |
