Longitudinal waves move:

in the same direction as the wave is traveling

at a right angle compared to the direction the wave is traveling

in a circle compared to the direction the wave is traveling

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength

False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength

True, amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength

False, crests can increase or decrease wavelength

What happens to the frequency of a wave when the amplitude is tripled?

amplitude does not affect frequency

the frequency is a third of what it was

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?

the wavelength would be doubled

the wavelength would stay the same

frequency does not affect wavelength

What would happen to the frequency is the wavelength was tripled?

the frequency would be a third of what it was

the frequency would be 3 times larger

the frequency would stay the same

the wavelength does not affect the frequency of a wave

the substance through which a wave can travel

something between a small and a large?

a pattern of vibration that simulates when a wave is standing still

the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave

When a wave passes from one medium to another, the ________ may change.

speed, frequency, and wavelength

What is the definition reflection?

Bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

The bending of waves as they pass through openings or around corners

When two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction, two crests and two troughs overlap. Increased amplitude.

What is the definition of Refraction?

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

When two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction, crest and trough overlap. Zero amplitude.

When two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction, two crests and two troughs overlap. Increased amplitude.

What is the definition of Diffraction?

The bending of waves as they pass through openings or around corners

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

Bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through

When two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction, crest and trough overlap. Zero amplitude.

Wave changes direction when moving from one medium to another

Wave stays in the same medium but bends around an obstacle.

Wave encounters a barrier that causes the wave to return.

Wave completely passes through a medium.

Waves combine together to form a larger wave.
