FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is destructive interference?
Back
Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet and combine to produce a wave of lesser amplitude, effectively canceling each other out.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is constructive interference?
Back
Constructive interference occurs when two waves meet and combine to produce a wave of greater amplitude, enhancing the overall wave.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is reflection in wave behavior?
Back
Reflection is the bouncing back of a wave when it hits a barrier or surface.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is refraction?
Back
Refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another, changing its speed.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is diffraction?
Back
Diffraction is the spreading out of waves when they pass through a narrow opening or around obstacles.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Back
When wave speed remains constant, an increase in frequency results in a decrease in wavelength.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is amplitude in a wave?
Back
Amplitude is the maximum distance a wave moves from its rest position, indicating the wave's energy.
