Using GA Standards s8P4a. Wavelength, frequency, wave reflection and refraction as well as diffraction and types of interference.

What is wavelength in the context of waves?

The distance between successive crests of a wave.

What is frequency in wave properties?

The number of times a wave repeats in a given time period.

Fill in the Blank: Waves exhibit an __ relationship between wavelength and frequency.

inverse

What happens to waves during reflection?

Waves bounce off surfaces.

What is a primary example of reflection?

Mirrors and echoes.

What occurs during refraction of waves?

Waves bend when changing speeds across different mediums.

How do sound waves behave in relation to obstacles?

Sound can be heard around obstacles even when light is blocked.

What is constructive interference?

Interference that increases wave amplitude.

What is destructive interference?

Interference that reduces wave amplitude.

How is wave interference applied in technology?

Used in devices like noise-canceling headphones.
