Wave Behaviour

Question 1

when a wave touches a fixed end

Answer 1

Flips upside-down, and travels backwards

Question 2

when a wave touches a free end

Answer 2

Bounces off

Question 3

when two pulses on the same end collide

Answer 3

make a super crest (size of amplitudes added) and then two waves move forward

Question 4

when two pules (same size) on opposite ends (top, bottom) meet

Answer 4

make a node, then move forward

Question 5

when two pulses (different sizes) on opposite ends (top, bottom) meet

Answer 5

make a crest, and move forward

Question 6

Define constructive interference

Answer 6

Waves on the same side collide and add

Question 7

Define destructive interference

Answer 7

Waves on different sides collide and move one wave with amplitude = amplitude 1 - amplitude 2
