Unit 11B Behaviors of Energy Waves

What is a Doppler Shift?

• the overlap of two or more waves as they travel through the same space as the same time

• the process of a wave bouncing off a surface

• the process of a wave bending around a corner of a surface or passing through an opening in the surface

• an increase of decrease in perceived wave frequency caused by the motion of the source of a wave

What is Reflection?

• the overlap of two or more waves as they travel through the same space as the same time

• the process of a wave bouncing off a surface

• the process of a wave bending around a corner of a surface or passing through an opening in the surface

• an increase of decrease in perceived wave frequency caused by the motion of the source of a wave

What is Superposition?

• the overlap of two or more waves as they travel through the same space as the same time

• the process of a wave bouncing off a surface

• the process of a wave bending around a corner of a surface or passing through an opening in the surface

• the process of a wave bouncing off a surface

• the process of a wave bending around a corner of a surface or passing through an opening in the surface

• an increase of decrease in perceived wave frequency caused by the motion of the source of a wave

What does it mean when matter is Translucent?

• The diminishing of the amplitude and energy of a wave as it passses through a material.

• Matter that allows light to pass through but also scatters the light waves in all directions.

• Matter that does not allow light to pass through because it absorbs the light and/or reflects the light.

• Matter that allows light to pass through with little interference
