Question
strategic notetaking guide (part two) name
sometimes a mechanical wave is partially
and partially reflected. some of the original waves
is used by each of the two new waves. each
of the new waves will have energy than the
original wave. the of the wave will not
change in the new medium. but the
(energy) is changed because the original waves
energy was split. a waves amplitude may as
it moves through a. it loses energy as the
wave spreads out. the might be refracted, or
the amplitude may, but the frequency stays
constant. when a wave leaves one medium and
enters another it can change and bend or
.

When a mechanical wave encounters a boundary, it can be partially transmitted (pass through) and partially reflected. The original wave's energy is split between the two new waves. Since energy is divided, each new wave has less energy. Frequency depends on the source of the wave and doesn't change with the medium. Amplitude is related to energy, so it changes as energy is split. As a wave moves through a medium, it spreads out and amplitude may decrease. When a wave enters a new medium, its speed changes, which can cause bending (refraction).
