Wave Properties & Behaviors

2. the number of repetitions of a periodic process in a unit of time
5. a material that moves energy or light from one substance to another, or from one location to another, or from one surface to another.
6. Doppler effect in physics is defined as the increase in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move towards each other
7. is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength.
9. a form of energy that propagates as both electrical and magnetic waves traveling in packets of energy called photons.
12. Destructive interference occurs when waves come together so that they completely cancel each other out.
13. the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time
14. distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave.
15. change in direction of propagation of any wave as a result of its traveling at different speeds at different points along the wave front.

1. Constructive interference happens when two waves overlap in such a way that they combine to create a larger wave.
3. the spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects.
4. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.
8. a wave that oscillates perpendicularly to the direction of the wave's advance.
10. A longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which the medium's vibration is parallel to the direction of the wave
11. the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
