compression waves, Longitudinal waves are also called ____________ ., refraction, __________ occurs when waves bend due to a change in speed., antinodes, ____________ exist in standing waves where amplitude is the greatest., Hertz, Frequency is measured in ___________ which means waves per second., constructive, In ___________ interference, waves interact to form waves with a larger amplitude than the original waves., vibration, A ________ consists of repeated back-and-forth and up-and-down motion that results in a mechanical wave., reflection, ______ occurs when waves hit a surface and bounce back. This also happens when light hits a mirror or when sound echoes., amplitude, The ______ of a wave is the maximum distance that the medium moves from its rest position., transverse wave, In a ___________, the medium & the wave travel perpendicular to one another., standing wave, A __________ occurs when waves interact in such a manner that they appear to be standing still., diffraction, _______ occurs when waves bend around a barrier., nodes, ________ exist in standing waves where there is an amplitude of zero., surface waves, ________ have both longitudinal and transverse components and exist at the surface where two mediums meet. Water waves in the ocean are an example., crest, The highest point of a transverse wave is the ______., rarefaction, The part of the longitudinal wave where the particles or coils are spaced farthest apart is called a ____________., resonance, ___________ is the tendency of a system to vibrate at maximum amplitude at certain frequencies., destructive, In _________ interference, waves interact to form waves with a smaller amplitude than the original waves., compression, The part of a longitudinal wave where the coils or particles are closest together is called a ____________., wavelength, The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is referred to as the _____________., wave, A ___________ is a disturbance that transfers energy from one location to another., waves, All ___________ have wavelength, frequency, and amplitude., mechanical waves, ____________ require a medium to travel through., frequency, As wavelength increases, ____________ decreases., energy, _________ is the ability to do work.
