WAVES
Types of interference:
-
destructive interference
Destructive interference is a phenomenon that occurs when two or more waves meet and their amplitudes are out of phase
what is interference?
interference refers to the interaction of two or more waves that overlap in the same region of space and time.
types of waves:
mechanical waves
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium (a substance or material) to travel through. There are 2 types of mechanical waves such as longitudinal waves and transverse waves.
longitudinal waves:
Longitudinal waves are a type of mechanical wave in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction in which the wave is traveling.
transverse waves:
Transverse waves are a type of mechanical wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling.

electromagnetic spectrum: The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation
time period:
The time period of a wave refers to the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave to occur.
wavelength:
Wavelength is a fundamental property of waves that measures the distance between two points that are in phase with each other in a wave pattern.
propagation:
Propagation refers to the process by which something, such as waves, signals, or information, spreads or travels through a medium or space
amplitude:
Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement or distance that a particle in a medium moves from its equilibrium position when a wave passes through.
Echo: An echo is a sound that is heard after a sound wave reflects off a surface and travels back to the listener's ears
frequency:
Frequency is a fundamental property of waves that measures the number of complete cycles a wave undergoes in a given unit of time.
a medium: a medium refers to a substance or material which waves, energy, can pass through.
a reflection: Reflection in waves is where a wave encounters a boundary or an obstacle and bounces back in the opposite direction.
seismometer: A seismometer is an instrument used to detect and record the vibrations and movements of the Earth's surface
