Science Waves
15
wave : A rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy through matter and/or a vacuum.
medium : Material a wave travels through.
transverse : When matter in the waves moves at right angles to the direction of the wave front.
compressional : When matter moves in the same direction as (along with) the wave front. also called longitudinal.
amplitude : Determined by the amount of energy.
wavelength : Determined by the wave frequency.
frequency : Number of waves per second.
hertz : Frequency is measured in ____.
reflection : When a wave strikes an object and bounces off.
refraction : When a wave strikes an object and passes through it.
absorption : When a wave strikes an object and doesn't bounce off or pass through it.
interference : When waves run into each other.
constructive interference : When waves collide together in phase and make a larger wave.
destructive interference : When waves collide together out of phase and they cancel each other out.
interference beats : When waves collide in and out of phase.
