100

The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass

What is a reflection?

100

An area where coils are spread out

What is rarefraction?

200

The material a wave travels through

What is a medium?

200

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave

What is wavelength?

Waves bending around a barrier is an example of

What is diffraction? 

200

How far a wave travels in a given amount of time

300

Waves that require a medium to go through

What is a mechanical wave?

300

The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time

What is frequency?

300

The bending of waves due to a change of speed

What is refraction?

300

This caused the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to collapse

400

The lowest part of a wave

What is a trough?

500

This wave vibrates the medium in the same direction in which the wave travels

What is a longitudinal wave?

500

This travels faster than sound

What is light?

500

A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it is two waves interfering as they pass through each other

What is a standing wave?

500

When two waves combine to make a wave with an amplitude smaller than the amplitude of either of the individual waves 

What is destructive interference?
