A transverse/mechanical wave
A transverse pulse sent through a slinky is this type of wave.
|
The change in direction of wave as it strikes a boundary.
Define reflection.
|
The distance from the equilibrium(midpoint) point to the top of the crest or to the bottom of the trough.
Define amplitude.
|
|
A longitudinal/mechanical wave
Sound is this type of wave.
|
The bending of a wave as it moves through one medium to another.
Define refraction.
|
What is the number of vibrations per seconds.
Define frequency.
|
|
An electromagnetic wave
Light is this type of wave.
|
The bending of a wave as it moves from through or around an obstacle.
Define diffraction.
|
The distance from the top of one crest to another or the distance from the bottom of one trough to another?
Define wavelength.
|
|
Perpendicular versus parallel to the direction of wave motion.
The difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave is this.
|
Reflection
Mirror images are an example of this.
|
Hertz
This is the unit of frequency.
|
|
A surface wave.
Tsunamis are this type of wave.
|
The change in velocity as a waves moves from one medium to a second medium.
Refraction occurs because of this.
|
Inverses
Period and frequency are *blank* of each other.
