| 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 its | frequency |
| The bending of waves due to a change in speed is called | refraction |
| The bending of waves 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 |
