Waves Quizlet

What Changes a waves direction?

• Reflection

• Refraction

• Dfiffraction

• All of the above

Which explains why the fork looks different under water?

• light can't pass through the glass
• the wavelength of light lengthens
• the amount of light increases when going through water
• light is refracted at an angle

What is constructive interference?

• When waves combine to form a wave larger

• When waves combine to form a smaller wave

What is destructive interference?

• When waves combine to form a larger amplitude

• When waves combine to form a smaller amplitude

Reflection occurs when a wave

• bends due to a change in speed

• hits a surface and bounces back

• passes through an opening

• bends around a corner

Refraction occurs when a wave

• bends due to a change in speed

• hits a surface and bounces back

• passes through an opening

• bends around a barrier

Interference in which waves combine to form a wave with a larger amplitude than either wave originally had is called

• destructive interference

• amplitude enhancement

• constructive interference

• resonance

Points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave are called

• crests

• incidence

• apexes

• antinodes

Destructive interference is when two waves interact to produce

• A resultant wave with a greater amplitude

• A resultant wave with a smaller amplitude

What property of this wave is represented by the letter "A"

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength
