Waves Review

This image depicts which of the following wave behaviors?

• Reflection

• Refraction

• Diffraction

• Resonance

A wave of constant wavelength diffracts as it passes through an opening in a barrier. As the size of the opening is increased, the diffraction effects

• decrease

• increase

• remain the same

• Constructive Interference
• Destructive Interference

What is the distance from point D to H called?

• Crest
• Amplitude
• Wavelength
• Frequency

Choose the correct relationship for wavelength and frequency.

• Higher Frequency=Longer Wavelength
• Lower Frequency=Shorter Wavelength
• Higher Frequency=Shorter Wavelength
• Higher Frequency=Identical Wavelength

What kind of wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling is called.....

• sound wave
• longitudinal
• transverse
• mechanical

What is the wavelength of this wave?

• 3

• 8

• 10

• 4

What is the amplitude of this wave?

• 3

• -3

• 6

• 4

What is the definition reflection?

• The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

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

• 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.

Example(s) of Reflection

• Echo

• Echo location

• rough surface

• smooth surface

• bouncing
