- Speed of sound: Medium (solid, liquid, gas), temperature, density, elasticity.
- Absorption of waves: Material properties, frequency of the wave, thickness of the material, surface texture.
- Transmission of waves: Medium properties, impedance matching, frequency, angle of incidence.
- Diffraction of waves: Wavelength of the wave, size of the obstacle or aperture, distance from the obstacle.
- Top diagram (wave hitting a boundary and splitting): Reflection and Refraction
- Bottom left diagram (wave bouncing off a surface): Reflection
- Bottom middle diagram (wave spreading out after passing through a gap): Diffraction
- Bottom right diagram (wave passing straight through a medium): Transmission
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of wave interactions worksheet.
