Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 10mins
Reflection occurs when a wave
bends due to a change in speed
hits a surface and bounces back
passes through an opening
bends around a barrier
Refraction occurs when a wave
bends due to a change in speed
hits a surface and bounces back
passes through an opening
bends around a barrier
Interference in which waves combine
to form a wave with a larger amplitude
destructive interference
amplitude enhancement
constructive interference
resonance
Points of maximum amplitude on a
standing wave are called
crests
incidence
apexes
antinodes
Destructive interference in a standing wave produces points with zero amplitude
called .
(a)
Waves do not bend when entering a new medium at a(n)
angle.
(a)
A wave refracts because one side of the wave changes before the other side.
(a)
A wave and spreads out in diffraction.
(a)
When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave, can occur.
(a)
A standing wave is actually two waves as they pass through
each other.
(a)
