What is a sound wave?

Back

A sound wave is a type of mechanical wave that travels through a medium (like air, water, or solids) and is produced by vibrating objects.

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.

What type of wave is a transverse wave?

Back

A transverse wave is a wave in which the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What is refraction?

Back

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another due to a change in its speed.

What is a compressional wave?

Back

A compressional wave, also known as a longitudinal wave, is a wave in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What is the difference between reflection and refraction?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it hits a surface, while refraction is the bending of light as it passes into a different medium.
