Examples of wave behaviors
When a straw looks thicker in water what is this an example of?
Refraction
The height of trough to crest
Amplitude
Sound is a wave
True
Constructive interference
When two crests hit each other and make it have a higher amplitude
Is light in a mirror interference
No
Refraction
The number of vibrations in a wave
Frequency
Light hitting a mirror is refraction
False
Destructive interference
When two troughs hit and flatten a wave
Are two people yelling interference?
When there is a rainbow
diffraction
Higher amplitude makes a wave louder
True
What are longitudinal waves
Waves that move the medium parallel to the wave
Is a straw in water bending refraction?
Yes
When light hits a mirror
Reflectiion
Trough
Interference is when two waves see each other and morph to avoid colliding
False
What are transverse waves
Waves that cause the medium to move perpendicular to the wave
When there is a rainbow is it reflection?
Two people yelling
Interference
The top of a wave
Rainbow is an example of diffraction
True
What are surface waves
A seismic wave that moves along or parallel to the earth's surface
When a light goes through a prism is it interference?
No
