Related material
The effects of superposition.
Wave crest
Interference
Refraction
Damping
Related material
Related material
When the restoring force is opposite and proportional to displacement.
Simple harmonic motion
Elastic medium
Longitudinal wave
Reflection
Related material
The motion of the medium is perpendicular to the wave motion.
Impedance
Wave crest
Transverse wave
Longitudinal wave
Related material
When a wave bends around an edge.
Refraction
Reflection
Diffraction
Frequency
Occurs when the wave velocity changes because the medium changes.
Interference
Reflection

The highest part of a wave.
Wave crest
Phase
Wave trough
Frequency
Related material
A disturbance moving through a medium.
Wave trough
Periodic motion
Mechanical wave
Superposition
The number of waves per time period.
Phase
Impedance
Frequency
Damping
Related material
The wave and medium motion are along the same line.
Longitudinal wave
Impedance
