Flashcards
Reflection
Reflection
When a wave strikes a surface it cannot pass through, it bounces back. The wave's energy isn't absorbed or changed, but reflected away.
Refraction
Refraction
The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another. This happens because the wave changes speed.
Absorption
Absorption
Waves can be absorbed by certain materials. When this happens, the energy of the wave is transferred to the material.

Study Notes
Turn and Talk: Notice and Wonder
- Students should look at an image and write down 2-3 things they notice (key details, main ideas, themes)
- Students should then write down 2-3 things they wonder (questions, curiosities)
- Students discuss with a partner then share with the class
Wave Interactions
- Waves can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials
- Reflection: A wave bounces off a medium
- Refraction: Bending of a wave as it enters a new medium
- Absorption: Energy of a wave is transferred to the material it hits (e.g. waves on the shore)
- Diffraction: Bending of a wave around a barrier or through an opening
- Interference: When two or more waves overlap
- Constructive Interference: Waves combine to create a wave with a larger amplitude
- Destructive Interference: Waves combine to create a smaller amplitude wave
Standing Waves
- A wave that appears to stand in one place
- Occurs when two waves interfere with each other in opposite directions
- Standing waves have nodes (zero amplitude) and antinodes (maximum amplitude)
- Frequency and wavelength influence the number of nodes and antinodes
- Resonance: An increase in the amplitude of a vibration when external vibrations match an object's natural frequency (e.g., Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse)
