Wave Behaviors

1. Refraction

1.1. book def: reflection does not change the speed or frequency of a wave, but the wave can be flipped upside down.

1.2. my def: a wave that bounces off a surface and it cant pass through.

1.3. example: pencil in glass of water

2. Resonance

2.1. book def: response of a standing wave to another wave of the same frequency.

2.2. own def: Two waves of the same frequency.

2.3. Child being pushed on a swing.

3. Reflection

3.1. book def: when a wave enters a medium at an angle.

3.1.1. Write down all the items you need to acquire before your baby arrives

3.1.2. Check out the link to find out what's essential

3.2. my def: a wave that enters a solid at an angle

3.3. examples: you're image in a pool of water

4. Constructive Interference

4.1. Constructive: 2 or more waves combine to make displacement

4.2. own words: when two waves make a big wave.

4.3. When a crest meets a crest.

5. Interference

5.1. book def:when two or more waves overlap

5.2. own words: two waves overlap

5.3. waves on beach

6. Destructive Interference

6.1. destructive: 2 or more waves to make a smaller displacement.

6.2. own words: when two waves make a small wave.

6.3. when a crest meets a trough.

7. Standing Waves

7.1. book def: A vibration of a system in which some particular points remain fixed while others between them vibrate with the maximum amplitude.

7.2. my words: vibrating when points stay fixed and others vibrate more.

7.3. example: tuning fork
