Question

Match the following properties of waves with their definitions:

- Reflection
- Interference
- Refraction
- Diffraction
- Resonance
- Red/Blue Shift

A. The effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for the observer when the wave source is approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency for the observer as the wave source is receding. This occurs in EM waves as well as mechanical waves.

B. The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another medium

C. When one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion.

D. When two waves meet traveling along the same medium

E. A change the direction of waves as they pass through an opening or around an obstacle in their path

F. The bouncing off of an obstacle

Explanation / Answer

According to the question we need to match the definations .

Interference : D. When two waves meet traveling along the same medium =====ANSWER)

Refraction : B. The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another medium =====ANSWER)

Resonance : C. When one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion =======ANSWER)

Reflection : F. The bouncing off of an obstacle =====ANSWER)

Red/Blue Shift : A. The effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for the observer when the wave source is approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency for the observer as the wave source is receding. This occurs in EM waves as well as mechanical waves. =====ANSWER)

Diffraction : E. A change the direction of waves as they pass through an opening or around an obstacle in their path =======ANSWER)
