The number of vibrations, or cycles, of a wave train in a unit of time is called the frequency of the wave
train and is measured in what? - ANSWER-Hertz
Which term refers to the number of occurrences that take place in one second? - ANSWER-Hertz
Which propagation property is the rate at which the disturbance travels through the medium, or the
velocity with which the crest of the wave moves along? - ANSWER-Velocity
What is the time in which one complete vibratory cycle of events occurs? - ANSWER-Period
What is a wave called that is directed toward the surface of a mirror? - ANSWER-Incident
What is the angle between the reflected wave and the normal called? - ANSWER-Angle of reflection
Which law states that "The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection"? - ANSWER-Law of
reflection
What is the bending of the wave path when the waves meet an obstruction? - ANSWER-Diffraction
What is the apparent change in frequency or pitch when a sound moves either toward or away from the
listener, or when the listener moves either toward or away from the sound source? - ANSWER-Doppler
Effect
How does sound travel through a medium? - ANSWER-Wave motion
In the study of physics, what is defined as a range of compression-wave frequencies to which the human
ear is sensitive? - ANSWER-Sound
