How does a wave form?
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
What occurs when more than one wave moves through the same medium at the same time?
When more than one wave moves through the same medium at the same time, they interfere with each other. Depending on the relative phase and amplitude of the waves, interference can result in constructive or destructive interference. Constructive interference occurs when the waves combine to form a larger amplitude wave, while destructive interference occurs when the waves cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller or no wave.
Distinguish between constructive interference and destructive interference?
Constructive interferences occur when two waves combine (add up) by the superpostition principle. Destructive interferences occur when the crest of one wave interferes with the trough of another. Amplitudes are subtracted.
The ability of 2 or more waves to combine and form a new wave?
Normally, two waves do not combine to form a new wave. Two waves approaching from almost the same direction will slowly cross each other. At the point where the waves cross, they will briefly make one wave. Its height can be calculated by a formula which multiplies the height of each wave by a sine function and adds the results.
Resonance occurs when an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object causes the second object to vibrate What form of waves are involved in resonance?
standing waves
