Carmel Presents Some Wave Questions

---

The height of a wave. Amplitude Phase Frequency Period Related material

The effects of superposition. Wave crest Interference Refraction Damping Related material Related material

When the restoring force is opposite and proportional to displacement. Simple harmonic motion Elastic medium Longitudinal wave Reflection Related material

The motion of the medium is perpendicular to the wave motion. Impedance Wave crest Transverse wave Longitudinal wave Related material

When a wave bends around an edge. Refraction Reflection Diffraction Frequency

Occurs when the wave velocity changes because the medium changes. Interference Reflection Refraction Diffraction

Happens when a wave turns back at the edge of a medium. Diffraction Refraction Wavelength Reflection

The highest part of a wave. Wave crest Phase Wave trough Frequency Related material

A disturbance moving through a medium. Wave trough Periodic motion Mechanical wave Superposition

The number of waves per time period. Phase Impedance Frequency Damping Related material

The wave and medium motion are along the same line. Longitudinal wave Impedance Wave front Transverse wave Related material

Occurs when two identical waves with opposite directions interfere. Damping Standing wave Wave front Refraction

Angle between incoming propagation and normal. Critical angle Standing wave Angle of incidence Angle of reflection

In this the speed of a wave depends on frequency. Diffraction Longitudinal wave Dispersive medium Standing wave

The distance from one wave crest to the next crest. Wavelength Standing wave Impedance Frequency Related material

The time per vibration. Amplitude Wavelength Frequency Period Related material
