EXAMPLE
- Electromagnetic wave
EXAMPLE
- Mechanical wave
Untitled Slide
- Reflection-bouncing back of waves
- Refraction-bending of a wave
- Diffraction-change in direction of wave
CALCULATING THE VELOCITY OF A WAVELENGTH
VELOCITY=frequency x wavelength
Untitled Slide
- Constructive interference- happens when waves add up to make a larger amplitude
- Destructive interference- waves add up to make a wave with smaller or zero amplitude
