Waves Choice Board

Light Wave

• Carries energy trough waves and behaves differently when encountered by an object.

• The bending of a wave when it passes from one median to another

• Longitudinal waves that travel through a medium . Also are vibrations with amplitude and frequency.

• The passage of light or sound through a object.

Sound Wave

• Transverse wave

• the bending of a wave when it travels from one medium to another

• Longitudinal waves that travel through a medium . Also are vibrations with amplitude and frequency.

Refraction

• The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface it cannot pass through

• The bending of a wave as it moves around or passes through a opening.

• The passage of Sound or light waves through an object.

• The bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another.

Reflection

• The bouncing back of a wave that hits a surface it cannot pass through.

• Longitudinal waves that travel through a medium . Also are vibrations with amplitude and frequency

• Occurs when a waves energy is being reduced or taken in.

• The passage of sound or light waves through and object.

Diffraction

• Occurs when waves energy is being reduced or taken in

• The bending of a wave as it moves around the object or passes through a narrow opening

• Carries energy trough waves and behaves differently when encountered by an object.

• The bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another

Echo

• the passage of light or sound through an object

• The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass through.

• The bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

• Repetition or sound caused by reflection of sound waves.

Medium

• Substance that carries a mechanical wave. They transport energy.

• the passage of light or sound through an object

Absorption

• the passage of light or sound through an object

• occurs when a wave's energy is being reduced or taken in

• Carries energy trough waves and behaves differently when encountered by an object.

• The bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another

Transmission

• occurs when a wave's energy is being reduced or taken in

• The bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another

• the passage of light or sound through an object

• occurs when a wave's energy is being reduced or taken in.
