Frequency multiplied by Period
3
A star emits a frequency of light that's lower than normal. What does this imply?
The star is moving towards earth
The star's light is refracting through the atmosphere
The star is moving away from earth
The star's light is diffracting.
4
Diffraction occurs when...
Two waves collide to form a larger wave
A wave spreads out as it passes through a narrow opening.
A wave changes speed as it passes through a different medium
A wave bounces off a non-yielding surface
5
Two sound waves collide. What will happen when the high pressure "crest" overlaps with the low pressure "trough"?
The sound waves have constructive interference and get louder
The sound waves have destrcutive interference and cancel each other out
The sound waves bounce off each other.
