What is frequency
is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum.
what is mechanical wave
An object causes a wave to change direction and bend toward it.
what is diffraction
The angle of incidence (i) of a wave is always equal to the angle of reflection (r)
What is Law of Reflection

11 weeks left
is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.
Longitudinal Wave
A repeating movement or disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.
