1 Wave Behavior

2 Incident wave – the incoming part of the wave (The incident wave comes from the source of the wave) Reflected wave – the part of the wave that bounces off a surface

5  Mechanical waves striking more dense medium will speed up  Their wavelength will decrease and their frequency will increase  Anything reflected will be inverted (upside down)

6  Mechanical waves striking a less dense medium will slow down  Their wavelength will increase and their frequencies will decrease  Anything reflected will be erect (upright)
