B)
Standing Wave – waves produced when two waves of the
same
frequency and amplitude travels in opposite directions in the
same medium (Musical instruments)

C) Resonance – Building up of energy by adding small amounts
of energy in time with the natural frequency of an object
Resonance Frequency
– natural frequency that an object vibrates when disturbed

D) Diffraction
– the spreading out of a wave into the region behind an obstacle

Wave/Slit/Diffraction
Amount of diffraction depends on
wavelength & size of slit
Larger
Version
Diffraction will be more
dramatic as the size of the slit approaches the wavelength of the wave.
Which slit will case light to diffract the most?
A - closest to wavelength of light
More on Diffraction - University of British Columbia
Why does amount of diffraction increase as the
size of the slit decreases - -
