Chapter 10: Waves 

________: occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it.

________: The process by which an object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequencies.

________ have a much shorter wavelength.

________: less- dense region of a compressional wave.

________: he bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.

________: When two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave.

________: the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point.

________: related to the energy carried by a wave.

________ is expressed in hertz (Hz)

In ________, the waves subtract from each other as they overlap.

When objects on Earths surface absorb some of the energy carried by ________, they move and shake.

________ usually travel faster in liquids and solids than they do in gases.

If the ________ is much larger than the wavelength, almost no diffraction occurs.

________ travel slower in water than in air.

________ travel through the air to reach your ears.

________: the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second.

________ and refraction both cause waves to bend.

________: a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space.

the matter the waves travel through

matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels

matter in the medium moves back and forth along the same direction that the wave travels

high points of a wave

low points of a wave

less-dense region of a compressional wave

the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it

the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point

related to the energy carried by a wave

he bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another

occurs when an object causes a wave to change direction and bend around it

When two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave

special type of wave pattern that forms when waves equal in wavelength and amplitude, but traveling in opposite directions, continuously interfere with each other

The process by which an object is made to vibrate by absorbing energy at its natural frequencies
