You Don't Know The Behavior of Waves
21
reflection : The change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated.
refraction : The change in direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium.
diffraction : Refers to various phenomena which occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or a slit.
interference : Refers to the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other, either because they come from the same source or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency.
resonance : The tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies than at others.
doppler effect : An increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other.
amplitude : The maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
compression : The application of balanced inward ("pushing") forces to different points on a material or structure, that is, forces with no net sum or torque directed so as to reduce its size in one or more directions.
constructive interference : The interference of two or more waves of equal frequency and phase, resulting in their mutual reinforcement and producing a single amplitude equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves.
crest : The point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle.
destructive interference : The interference of two waves of equal frequency and opposite phase, resulting in their cancellation where the negative displacement of one always coincides with the positive displacement of the other.
frequency : The number of periods or regularly occurring events of any given kind in unit of time, usually in one second.
law of reflection : The principle that when a ray of light, radar pulse, or the like, is reflected from a smooth surface the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
period : a length or portion of time.
transverse wave : A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
trough : Bottom of the wave.
wavelength : The length of a single cycle of a wave.
waves : Is disturbance or oscillation that travels through matter/space.
longitudinal waves : A wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
rarefaction : Diminution in the density of something, especially air or a gas.
speed : The rate or a measure of the rate of motion.
electromagnetic spectrum : The range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends.
oscillation :Regular variation in magnitude or position around a central point.
medium : The material or empty space through which signals, waves or forces pass.
wave direction : The direction from which a wave approaches.
