What is reflection?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of waves when they hit a barrier.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is constructive interference?

Back

Constructive interference occurs when two waves meet and combine to make a larger wave.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is destructive interference?

Back

Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet and cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller wave.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is absorption in wave behavior?

Back

Absorption is the process by which a wave's energy is taken in by a material, reducing the wave's intensity.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the principle of superposition?

Back

The principle of superposition states that when two or more waves overlap, the resulting wave is the sum of the individual waves.
