What is a medium
The material through which waves travel.
100
What is reflection
When a wave bounces off a surface that it cannot pass through.
100
What is reflection
_____________'does not change the speed or frequency of a wave but the wave can be flipped upside down
100
Longitudinal
Sound waves are longitudinal or transverse waves
200
What is a transverse wave
A wave that causes the medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels.
200
What is refraction
The bending of a wave as it enters a medium at an angle
200
Refraction
When a wave enters a medium at an angle, _____________ occurs because one side of the wave moves more slowly than the other side.
200
Solid
Sound waves travel fastest in what medium? (Solid, liquid or gas)
300
What is a longitudinal wave
A wave in which he vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels.
300
What is diffraction
Bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening
300
Diffraction
A wave ___________ more if it's wavelength is large compared to the size of an opening
300
Doppler effect
A change in Sound frequency caused by motion of the source, motion of the listener or both.
400
What is frequency
The number of complete cycles in a given time.
400
What is destructive interference
When two or more waves combine to produce A wave with smaller displacements
500
Amplitude
The more energy a wave has the greater the ________________
500
What is constructive interference
When two or more waves combine to produce a wave with a larger displacement
