When two waves add together to form a single wave, the type of interference is ___________________.
Constructive
The distance from any point on a wave to the same point on the next wave is called
Wavelength
Wavelength is the distance between

The law of reflection states that the angle of ______________ equals the angle of reflection.
Incidence
A wave is a disturbance that transfers
Energy
When two waves combine to subtract from each other, _____________________ interference occurs.
destructive
The distance between two consecutive crests is called _______________________.
Wavelength
The incoming wave is the _______________ wave.
Incident
In the same medium, an increase in the frequency of the wave will cause a decrease in the ________________ of the wave.
Wavelength
Molecules spread out in _________________________.
Rarefaction.
