Wave Behavior

Front

What is Refraction?

Back

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium.

Front

What causes Refraction?

Back

Refraction occurs when the wave's speed changes by entering a new medium.

Front

What type of wave has particles that move parallel to the wave motion?

Back

Longitudinal wave.

Front

What represents the crest of a wave?

Back

The highest points of the wave, often labeled as B & F.

Front

What happens to Amplitude when a sound is louder?

Back

Amplitude increases.

Front

What is a Transverse wave?

Back

A wave in which the medium moves perpendicular to the wave motion.

Front

What is a Longitudinal wave?

Back

A wave in which the medium moves parallel to the wave motion.

Front

What is Wavelength?

Back

The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is Frequency?

Back

The number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

What is the relationship between Frequency and Wavelength?

Back

Higher frequency means shorter wavelength.
