Chapter 16: Waves
20
Amplitude : The height of a waves crest.
Tsunami : A great sea wave produced especially by submarine earth movement or volcanic eruption.
Constructiveinterference : Two waves join to form a result of a wave of greater amplitude.
Destructiveinterference : Two waves join to form a resultant of a wave of lower amplitude.
Wavespeed : The speed at which waves travel.
trough : Bottom of a transverse wave
Medium : A material waves can pass through
Rarefaction : The part of a compressional wave when the particles are spread apart.
Crest : The top of a transverse wave.
Wave : A rhythmic disturbance that carries energy and matter.
Electromagneticwaves : Waves that do not require a medium to pass through.
Compressionalwaves : Waves that have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel.
Transverse : A wave where the vibrating element moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of a wave.
Mechanical : Waves that require a medium to pass through.
Interference : Two waves join to form a wave of greater or lower amplitude.
Frequency : Number of crests or troughs of a wave that pass a given point in a specified period of time, usually 1s.
Reflection : A change in direction that a wave experiences when it bounces off of a barrier between two mediums.
Refraction : The change in direction & change in velocity that a wave experiences when it leaves one medium and goes into another.
Wavelength : The distance between successive crests of a wave.
Diffraction : Occurs when waves bend around an object.
