Objectives Describe reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference.
Compare destructive interference with constructive interference.
Describe resonance, and give examples.Section 3 Wave InteractionsChapter 221
Reflection Reflection happens when a wave bounces back after hitting a barrier.
Light waves reflecting off an object allow you to see that object. A reflected sound wave is called an echo.
Waves are not always reflected when they hit a barrier. A wave is transmitted through a substance when it passes through the substance.Section 3 Wave InteractionsChapter 222

Refraction Refraction is the bending of a wave as the wave pass from one medium to another at an angle.
When a wave moves from one medium to another, the waves speed and wavelength changes. As a result, the wave bends and travels in a new direction.Section 3 Wave InteractionsChapter 225

Diffraction Diffraction is the bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening.
The amount of diffraction of a wave depends on its wavelength and the size of the barrier or opening the wave encounters.Section 3 Wave InteractionsChapter 228

Section 3 Wave Interactions
Chapter 2211
Interference, continued Standing Waves are waves that appear to be standing still. A standing wave only looks as if it is standing still. Waves are actually going in both directions.
In a standing wave, certain parts of the wave are always at the rest position because of total destructive interference. Other parts have a large amplitude because of constructive interference.Section 3 Wave InteractionsChapter 2212
Interference, continued The frequencies at which standing waves form are called resonant frequencies.
Resonance happens when an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object causes the second object to vibrate.
An example of resonance is shown on the next slide.Section 3 Wave InteractionsChapter 2213http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xox9BVSu7Okhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXV45t6wlWUChapter 22
