What is one property of a wave that determines how much it will diffract when it encounters an obstacle?
-speed
-amplitude
-polarization
-wavelength

Suppose two waves collide, and the temporary combined wave that results is smaller than the original waves. What term best describes this interaction?
-diffraction
-destructive interfernce
-standing wave formation
-constructive interfernce

The formation of a standing wave requires
-the traveling of a wave for a long distance
-constructive interference between two waves of slightly different frequencies
-that refraction and diffraction occur at the same time in a wave
-interference between incoming and reflected waves
