For refraction to occur in a wave the wave must?
For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must enter a new medium at an angle.
What are the wave phenomena?
There are four different wave phenomena. The wave phenomena are; refraction, interference, reflection, and diffraction. Things that occur with waves will usually involve at least one of these phenomena.
Why does refraction occur when a wave travels from one material into another?
Waves travel at different speeds depending material density and propagation quality
What is it called when a wave goes from one medium to another and it changes speed and direction?
The change in direction is called refraction.
How does the stadium wave differ from a real ocean wave?
Stadium waves differ from real ocean waves because ocean waves use water and stadium waves use people.
What type of ocean wave moves the fastest?
Indian Ocean waves.
What happen when a waves strikes a boundary between two materials?
Usually part of the wave energy is reflected, and part of the wave energy passes through, possibly at a different angle (i.e., refraction may occur).
Do tsunami waves occur in the middle of the ocean?
No, tsunamis are usually caused by a disturbance of the seabed such as an earthquake or landslide.
How is a ocean wave defined?
by waves
What is the bending of a light wave called?
It is called refraction
What atmospheric conditions can cause sound wave refractions similar to those observed in the ocean?
whenever a wave travels through a new median refraction occurs, this is true for any wave. For the example of sound waves, if the wave traveled into an area where the density of molecules in the air was lesser or greater, this new median would cause refraction to occur. This can be calculated using Snell's law, which is n1/n2=sin(x)1/sin(x)2=V1/V2. where n is the index of refraction, v is velocity, and x (usually theta is used in place of x) is the angle.
What are the two setting to rogue wave in the book?
The two settings where rogue waves occur in the book are the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Rogue waves are unpredictable and exceptionally large waves that can pose a significant danger to ships and maritime activities in these locations.
