Waves Concept 2

When a wave strikes an object and bounces off it

The bending of waves caused by a change in it's speed

as it moves from one medium through another

when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it

when a wave strikes an object and goes into it

when two or more waves combine to form a new wave

special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and amplitude, but traveling in opposite directions, continuously, interfere with each other

When the waves cancel out

Process where an object is made to vibrate at its natural frequency

by absorbing the energy of another object

that is vibrating at the same frequency
