Waves

3. created from reflected way and the normal
8. a reference line perpendicular to a boundary to prove and determine angles of incident and reflected rays
9. a mechanical wave that vibrates parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the wave
11. single and non-repeating wave
12. point of zero displacement in a standing wave from destructive interference
14. peak of the wave
16. time for one wave
17. created from incident ray and the normal
20. two waves interfere to make a larger composite wave
22. angle of incidence and angle of reflection are the same
23. lowest point of the wave
24. a mechanical wave that vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave

1. displacement from the equilibrium position
2. two waves interfere to make a smaller composite wave
4. the medium moves in the direction of the wave
5. the interaction of waves due to superposition
6. displacement of a medium caused by two or more waves’ algebraic sum of the displacements
7. number of waves per second
10. point of maximum displacement in s standing wave from construction interference
13. wave spreads out due to encountering a narrow aperture
15. a mechanical wave that vibrates parallel to the direction of the wave
18. distance between points repeating in the wave pattern
19. vibrational pattern created by waves of opposite direction but same frequency
21. change of wave direction at the boundary between two media
