An example of a medium for a wave is
Air, water or space.
A medium transfers
Energy
An ocean wave is an example of
A transverse wave.
The maximum distance the molecules of a medium are displaced from their rest position is the
Amplitude
Wavelength is the distance between
Two consecutive crests or troughs.
In a given medium, if the frequency increases,
The wavelength decreases.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is called
Refraction
The bending of waves around the edge of a barrier is called
Diffraction
The interaction of waves that meet at the same point at the same time is called
Interference
The point where constructive interferences produces the maximum energy is called
Antinode
A wave is a disturbance that transfers
Energy
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move _________________ to the direction of the wave.
At right angles (perpendicular).
In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move _________________ to the direction of the wave.
Parallel
The energy of the wave can be indicated by the
Amplitude
The distance from any point on a wave to the same point on the next wave is called
Wavelength
Frequency is measured in
Hertz
