Examples of wave behaviors
When a straw looks thicker in water what is this an example of?
Refraction
The height of trough or crest
Amplitude
Sound is a wave
True
Constructive interference
When two crests hit each other and make it have a higher amplitude
Is the behavior of light as it hits a mirror called interference?
No
Refraction
The number of vibrations in a wave
Frequency
Light hitting a mirror is refracted
False
Destructive interference
When two troughs hit and flatten a wave
Talking in a noisy room is an example of interference?
Yes
When there is a rainbow
refraction
The middle line through a wave in a graph
Equilibrium/rest position
Higher amplitude makes a wave higher
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
Do we see a rainbow because of reflection?
No
Two people yelling
Interference
The top of a wave
Rainbow is an example of refraction
True
What is refraction?
The bending of light as it passes to a new medium
When a light goes through a prism is it interference?
No
