Waves

Master wave parts & behaviors! Label crests, troughs, and understand reflection, refraction, and interference.

Label the parts of this wave. trough wavelength crest amplitude Label the parts of the wave diagram below. compression rarefaction wavelength Match the following wave behaviors with the correct definition. diffraction waves bend around corners refraction a wave bends when entering a transparent boundary reflection a wave bounces off when it hits a hard boundary absorption a wave's energy dies out in a soft material Draw a transverse wave. Draw a longitudinal wave. Wave Interference Match the term that matches its definition by clicking on the term then clicking on its definition. Interference point where two waves meet each other and overlap to form a new wave Constructive Interference waves meet at the same point and add together Destructive Interefence overlapping waves subtract from each other Wave Behavior Determine the type of wave behavior shown below. Use the following terms:absorptionreflectionrefractiondiffraction reflection refraction diffraction absorption
