Section Review Quiz: The Behavior of Waves 10.3

Reflection occurs when a wave (a)   .

• strikes an object and bounces off of it

• causes ripples in a pool of water

• compresses air particles as it travels

• bends and changes speeds as it travels

The (a)   is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface of a medium where a wave strikes it.

• normal

• incidence

• diffraction grating

• interference

​ (a)   ​ occurs when waves bend around a barrier.

• Diffraction
• Reflection

• Refraction

• Interference

The process in which two waves overlap and form a new wave is called

• wave refraction
• wave diffraction
• wave reflection
• wave interference

Waves with equal wavelength and amplitude, but traveling in opposite directions, continuously interfere with each other.

• Constructive interference

• Destructive interference

• Reverberation

• A standing wave

Why do soldiers break rank when marching over a bridge?

• To maintain military discipline.

  CHICKEN JOCKEY

• To avoid tripping over each other, which would cause a standing wave

• To prevent structural damage to the bridge due to resonance

• To practice synchronized movements, what is the military without marching
