Q

Refraction

A

waves bend due to the change in their velocity

17
Q

Diffraction

A

property of waves travel around its end

18
Q

Interference

A

two waves interact as they pass through a single medium at the same time

19
Q

Constructive Interference

A

crest + crest / troughs + troughs = greater pulse

20
Q

Destructive Interference

A

Crest + Troughs = lower pulse

21
Q

Standing waves

A

reflected waves have the same amplitude, frequency, and speed as the original wave

22
Q

Node

23
Q

Antinode

A

midpoint daw ng destructive
