Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength exam with 100% Correct answers already graded A+

Amplitude The maximum distance that the particles of a wave's medium vibrate from their rest position Wavelength The distance from any poiont on a wave to an identical point on the next wave Frequency The number of waves produced in a given amount of time. Reflection The bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through Echo Reflected sound wave Transmission Waves passing through an object Refraction The bending of a wave as the wave passes between two substances in which the speed of the wave differs Diffraction A change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds an obstacle or an edge, such as an opening Interference The combination of two or more waves that results in a single wave Constructive Interference Occurs when the crests of one wave overlaps the crests of another wave. The troughs also overlap. This results in a wave with a higher crest and a lower trough. Destructive Interference Occurs when the crests of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap. This results in a smaller amplitude or no wave at all. Standing Wave A pattern of vibration that simulates a wave that is standing still Resonance A phenomenon that occurs when two objects naturally vibrate at the same frequency; the sound produced by one object causes the other object to vibrate.
