What is the definition of Diffraction?

Back

The bending of waves as they pass through openings or around corners.

Front

What property of waves differs when comparing amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and pitch?

Back

Amplitude.

Front

What type of wave behavior occurs when waves bend as they pass through different mediums?

Back

Refraction.

Front

What is the term for the bouncing back of waves from a surface they cannot pass through?

Back

Reflection.

Front

What is Absorption in the context of wave behavior?

Back

The process by which waves are taken in by a material, causing it to warm up.

Front

What are the crest and trough in a wave?

Back

Crest is the highest point of a wave, while trough is the lowest point.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in waves?

Back

Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is the definition of Refraction?

Back

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium.

Front

What happens to light waves when they hit a reflective surface?

Back

They bounce back, demonstrating reflection.

Front

What is the difference between constructive and destructive interference?

Back

Constructive interference occurs when waves combine to make a larger amplitude, while destructive interference occurs when they cancel each other out.
