the interaction among two or more waves in which displacements combine to produce a wave with a smaller displacement

a point on a standing wave that has no displacement from the rest position

the interaction among two or more waves in which displacements combine to produce a wave with a larger displacement

a technique for determining distance to an object under water

the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

a point of maximum displacement midway between two nodes of a standing wave

the interaction that occurs when a wave bounces off of a surface that is cannot pass through

the interaction of two or more waves the combine in a region of overlap

the rate at which a wave's energy flows through a given unit of area

longitudinal waves consisting of compressions and rarefactions, which travel through a medium
