🗑
show the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given unit if time.  
🗑

🗑
show represented in equations as v (velocity).  
🗑

🗑
Medium   show
🗑
show is when a wave bounces off a surface.  
🗑
show explains that waves get reflected in a particular way - a wave reflects at the same angle as the angle that it moved toward the barrier.  
🗑
Reflected Ray   show
🗑
Incident Ray   show
🗑
show and is caused by waves traveling at different speeds in different mediums ( or substances ).  
🗑
Diffraction   show
🗑
Interference   show
🗑
Constructive Interference   show
🗑
show When you jump on a trampoline with friends. you experience constructive and destructive interference.  
🗑
show is the transfer of energy from a wave to matter as the wave passes through it.  
🗑
show absorb only specific wavelengths which is how we see color.  
🗑
show When we see a red apple, it's because every other color EXCEPT red is being absorbed and red is being reflected.  
🗑

🗑
show A sound wave is a LONGITUDINAL WAVE, which means that it oscillates in the same direction as it moves.  
🗑
Expansion   show
🗑
show The INTENSITY of a sound wave is how much energy the sound wave carriers past a certain area.  
🗑
Intensity   show
🗑
Units of Sound   show
🗑
show Our perception of sound wave frequency.  
🗑
show carry information but vary continuously in both amplitude and frequency.  
🗑
show send information as wave pulses, and communicate only through Is and Os, so the form that the in formation takes is much simpler.  
🗑
