Explain frequency in relation to waves.
Back
Frequency is the number of complete wave cycles that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz (Hz).
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?
Back
Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is diffraction?
Back
Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings, which causes the waves to spread out.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is reflection in wave behavior?
Back
Reflection is the bouncing back of a wave when it encounters a barrier or a different medium.
