Review: What is it called when a wave bounces off an object?
Reflection
Refraction
Diffraction
When 2 waves meet and create a bigger wave
Constructive Interference
Destructive Interference
When two waves meet and create a smaller wave
Constructive
Destructive
how does diffraction work
it goes through water and air
is a beam of light stopping at a wall
it bounces off of light
is the bending of light as it passes around the edge of an object
Light refracts when:
It changes speed
It changes from a particle to a wave
Its density changes
It encounters a solid object
What would you call this?
Reflection
Diffraction
Refraction
Friction
What would you call this?
Refraction
Diffraction
Bends
Reflection
Which picture is diffraction
What is it called when two waves combine to form a new wave?
reflection
diffraction
interference
A straw in a glass of water looks bent.
refraction
diffraction
angle of reflection
angle of incidence
What word means the bouncing back of an object or wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass?
refraction
reflection
node
resonance
Which word means the bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle , caused by a change in speed?
reflection
standing wave

The bending of a wave due to the change in speed is called
interference
diffraction
reflection
refraction
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
