A-C
What is Absorption?
the process where a material takes in energy from a wave.
what is Diffraction?
bending and spreading waves as they pass around an obstacle or through an opening.
what is Reflection?
the phenomenon where a wave, such as light, sound, or water, bounces off a surface and returns to the original medium.
what is Amplitude?
the maximum distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave.
what is Electromagnetic waves?
a form of radiation travel through space and transfer energy.
what is Refraction?
the bending of a wave, such as light or sound, as it passes from one medium into another with a different velocity.
what is Concave?
a shape that curves inward.
what is Frequency?
the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time, typically measured in Hertz (Hz)
what is Transverse wave?
a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling.
what is Convex?
a shape that curves outward.
what is Longitudinal wave?
a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
what is Trough?
lowest point of a wave.
what is Crest?
highest point of a wave.
what is Mechanical wave?
disturbances that transfer energy through a medium, such as solids, liquids, or gases.
what is Wavelength?
the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave.
