Interactions of Waves

The type of interference that creates a larger amplitude is

• constructive interference.

• destructive interference.

• interference.

• inductive interference.

This type of interference is demonstrated by putting a straw in a glass of water.

• diffraction

• refraction

• reflection

• standing wave

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

This occurs when a wave hits a surface and bounces back.

• diffraction

• refraction

• reflection

• standing wave

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

This type of interference of waves creates a smaller amplitude.

• destructive interference

• standing waves

• constructive interference

• big interference

A solid, liquid, or gas is a ________________ for a wave.

• matter like thing

• force

• balanced force

• medium

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

This type of wave appears to be standing still, but it is actually two waves passing through one another.

• standing wave

• a constructive interference

• a destructive interference

• an unbalanced force

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

When two or more waves pass through each other, this is called

• interference.

• joining.

• combining.

• medium.

When waves hit a barrier like a rock, the waves bend and travel around the object before spreading out again. This is...

• reflection

• diffraction

• refraction

Destructive interference waves are known as "surfer's waves."

• True

• False
