1. Book: bending of a wave as it moves around a object

2. having good timing pushing on a swing

3. constructive Interference

3.1. Book; when two waves combine to make one big wave

3.2. 2 waves that combine into one big wave

4. Difraction

4.1. My definition: waves that can bend around objects

4.2. example: water moving through an obsticle

5. standing wave

5.1. book: A wave that appears to stand still

5.2. my definition: waves that look like they are still but they are not

5.3. examples: tie a rope to the end of a chair and shake one end of the rope and the energy comes back

6. resonance

6.1. book: response of a standing wave to another at the same frequency

7.1. Book: When a wave bounces off a object it can not go through

7.2. My definition: looking into a mirror

7.3. Examples

8. Refraction

8.1. Book: Bends its wave as it enters new medium angle

8.2. my definition: Pivoting

8.3. Examples: lawnmower

9. destructive interference

9.1. Book:2 waves combining to make a smaller wave

9.2. My definition: 2 waves that combine and shrink
