Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wavelength is the distance between two successive 'like' points on a wave.

Answer: F
 Frequency is the number of cycles or oscillations per second of a wave.

Answer: A
 Amplitude is the height of a wave's crest or the depth of its trough.

Answer: M
 Transverse waves are waves in which the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Answer: G
 Longitudinal waves are waves in which the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave.

Answer: H
 Pitch is the subjective perception of the frequency of a sound.

Answer: N 
 Ultrasound is sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing.

Answer: J
 Reflection is the bouncing back of a wave when it encounters a new medium.

Answer: D
 Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through narrow openings.

Answer: B 
 Constructive interference occurs when waves combine to produce a larger wave.

Answer: C
 Destructive interference occurs when waves combine to produce a smaller wave.

Answer: M
 A ray represents the direction of motion of a wave.

Answer: E
 The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave as the source or observer moves.

Answer: K
 Reverberation is multiple reflections of sound waves off surfaces in an enclosed space that can cause a prolonged and blurred sound.

Answer: L
 Sound level measures the intensity or volume of a sound wave in decibels.

Answer: O
 The waveform is the shape and form of a wave as it moves through a medium.
