Wave and Wave Behavior Review

Front

What is Wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.

What is Absorption in wave behavior?

Back

Absorption is the process by which a wave's energy is taken up by a material, converting the wave energy into other forms, such as heat.

What type of wave is a Longitudinal wave?

Back

A Longitudinal wave is a type of wave where the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation, such as sound waves.

Front

What happens to the pitch of a sound when the source moves away?

Back

The pitch of the sound seems lower when the source moves away, a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect.

Front

What is Refraction?

Back

Refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another, caused by a change in its speed.

What is Reflection in wave behavior?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of a wave when it hits a barrier or a surface.

What is the difference between Frequency and Period?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second, while Period is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a point.

What is Amplitude?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position, indicating the wave's energy.

What is Diffraction?

Back

Diffraction is the spreading out of waves when they pass through a narrow opening or around obstacles.

Front

What are Electromagnetic waves?

Back

Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium, such as light waves.
