If wave speed and frequency are held constant, what factor determines the Energy of a wave?
Wave Speed
Frequency
Wave Length
Amplitude
Compression
If Amplitude is held constant, what factor determines the energy of a wave?
Frequency
Current
There is no energy, its a wave
Refraction
What do we call it when a wave changes direction because it has passed from one medium into another and has changed speeds as a result?
Refraction
Reflection
Rarefaction
Diffraction
Interfraction
What do we call it when a wave changes directions because it is spreading out into a larger space after passing a barrier or through a small opening?
Refraction
Reflection
Rarefaction
Diffraction
Interfraction
What occurs when two crests from different waves meet?
They get larger
They get smaller
They cancel each other out
They pass with no change to either wave
What is it called when two waves interact with each other?
Wave interactions
Standing Waves
Wave interference
Pass Interference
This type of wave has particles that move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
Compression Wave
Sound Wave
Transverse Wave
Heat Wave
This is the "height" of a wave. Measured from the point of rest or the mid-line to either the crest or the trough.
Wavelength
Frequency
Wave Speed
Amplitude
This is the material that a mechanical wave travels through.
Crest
Trough
Medium
Large
Rarefaction
This is the highest point of a transverse wave.
Crest
Trough
Medium
Large
Rarefaction
This is the point that the material becomes less dense in a compression wave (the area opposite the compression).
Crest
Trough
Medium
Large
Rarefaction
This occurs when a wave has an orderly pattern of interference, often with its own reflection.
