NGSS.MS-PS4-2

the bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening

• echo

• diffraction

• refraction

• reflection

the combination of two or more waves that results in a single wave

• diffraction

• echo

• resonance

• interference

when the crests and troughs of one wave overlap the crests of another wave or waves

• resonance

• constructive interference

• destructive interference

• reflection

when the crests of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap

• destructive interference

• diffraction

• resonance

• constructive interference

when two objects naturally vibrate at the same frequency (ex. the sound produced by one object causes the other object to vibrate)

• diffraction

• interference

• resonance

• rarefaction
