Wavelength quiz

Define Refraction

• Refraction is the absorption of light by a medium
• Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another due to a change in speed.
• Refraction is the reflection of light off a surface
• Refraction is the splitting of light into its component colors

Describe destructive interference

• Destructive interference is when two waves meet and their phases reinforce each other.
• Destructive interference is when two waves meet and their wavelengths add up.
• Destructive interference is when two waves meet and their frequencies align perfectly.
• Destructive interference is when two waves meet and their amplitudes cancel each other out.

Describe Frequency

• Frequency is the speed of sound in a medium
• Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time.
• Frequency is the amplitude of a signal
• Frequency is the wavelength of a wave

Describe Diffractions

• Diffractions are the absorption of waves by obstacles
• Diffractions are the reflection of waves by obstacles
• Diffractions are the amplification of waves by obstacles
• Diffractions are the bending of waves around obstacles and the spreading of waves when they encounter an aperture or obstacle.

Describe Waves being Absorbed

• Waves being transmitted instead of absorbed
• Waves being absorbed refers to the process where the energy carried by the waves is taken in by the material they interact with.
• Waves being reflected instead of absorbed
• Waves being refracted instead of absorbed

Describe the Doppler Effect

• The Doppler Effect is the change in speed of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving away from the wave source.
• The Doppler Effect is the change in temperature of a wave in relation to an observer who is stationary relative to the wave source.
• The Doppler Effect is the change in amplitude of a wave in relation to an observer who is stationary relative to the wave source.
• The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

Describe Constructive Interference

• Constructive interference is when two waves are in phase and their amplitudes add together.
• Constructive interference is when two waves are out of phase and cancel each other out.
• Constructive interference occurs when two waves have different frequencies.
• Constructive interference is only observed in mechanical waves.

Define A wave being transmitted

• The process of photosynthesis in plants
• The conversion of solid to liquid state
• The propagation of energy through a medium without the medium itself being transported.
• The transfer of matter from one location to another

Define Reflection

• Reflection is the process of light passing through a medium without any change in direction
• Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media.
• Reflection is the absorption of light by a surface
• Reflection is the bending of light waves around an object

Describe a wave scattering

• Wave scattering is the absorption of waves by a medium
• Wave scattering refers to the redirection of waves when they encounter an obstacle or a discontinuity.
• Wave scattering involves the amplification of waves when they encounter an obstacle
• Wave scattering results in the complete disappearance of waves
