Waves review

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called

• Surface Waves
• Combination Waves
• Longitudinal Waves
• Transverse Waves

What occurs when vibrations traveling through an object match the object’s natural frequency?

• Refraction
• Reflection
• Diffraction
• Resonance

The maximum distance that the particles of a medium move from the rest position is the

• Wavelength of the Wave
• Frequency of the Wave
• Amplitude of the Wave
• Speed of the Wave

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is the wave’s

• Wavelength
• Frequency
• Amplitude
• Speed

The speed of a wave is its wavelength multiplied by its

• Vibration
• Frequency
• Amplitude
• Reflection

†If 10 waves pass one point every 16.0 seconds, what is the frequency of the wave?

• 10 Hz
• 1.6 Hz
• 0.625 Hz
• 0.312 Hz

When two waves combine to form a new wave with a larger amplitude, it is called 

• Diffraction
• Destructive Interference
• Resonance
• Constructive Interference
