What's happening at A?
Two crests are combining to create constructive interference.
A crest and a trough are combining to create destructive interference.
Two crests are combining to create destructive interference.
A crest and trough are combining to create constructive interference.
What is happening at B?
Two crests are combining to create constructive interference.
A crest and a trough are combining to create destructive interference.
Two crests are combining to create destructive interference.
A crest and a trough are combining to create constructive interference.
True or False? Two waves cannot exist in the same space or in the same medium at the same time.
True
False
When a compression interferes with another compression, what occurs?
They counteract and the wave stops.
They combine to create a larger compression.
They combine to create a rarefaction.
None of the above.
When a crest and a trough interfere, what occurs?
They combine to create a higher amplitude wave.
They counteract and the wave stops.
The wave changes into a longitudinal wave.
They combine to create a low amplitude wave.
What are waves?
Mass
Force
Energy
Matter
When 2 waves temporarily interfere with each other then resume their course of movement, which of the following is true?
They take on and keep a new amplitude based on the result of the interference until the end of the movement.
They are not affected by the interference and maintain their original amplitude throughout the movement.
Both waves are always counteracted and cease to exist.
They temporarily take on a new amplitude due to the interference but resume their original amplitude until the end of the movement.
If a medium for a mechanical wave is secured on both sides with one side remaining still and the other producing a continuous wave, which behavior does that wave exhibit?
Scatters (no pattern - moves in random directions throughout medium)
Reflects ( bounces back and forth throughout medium)
Transmits (continues to move through the medium in original direction)
Ceases to exist - the secured opposite end stops the energy flow of the wave
What creates a wave?
Force
Energy
Mass
Vibration
