Refer to the following information for the next nine questions.
The direction of waves moving in two or three dimensions is shown by diagrams. The ray that reaches a barrier is called the
_____
ray. The ray that moves back from the barrier is called the
_____
ray. The direction of the barrier is shown by a line drawn at a(n)
_____
angle to the barrier. This line is called the
_____
. The angle between the
_____
ray and the
_____
is called angle of incidence. The angle between the
_____
ray and the
_____
is called the angle of reflection. The law of
_____
states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.

Refer to the following information for the next four questions.
In water waves, the velocity is
_____
in shallower water. If the incident ray is parallel to the normal, there is a change in the velocity and
_____
of the wave. If the incident ray is not parallel to normal, there is a change in velocity, wavelength, and
_____
of the wave. The change in
_____
of a wave at the boundary between two media is called refraction.

Refer to the following information for the next seven questions.
When plane waves reach a small opening in a barrier, they form
_____
waves that spread out behind opening. This spreading of waves is called
_____
. The smaller the
_____
in comparison to the size of the barrier, the
_____
the diffraction. When there are two openings in a barrier, two sets of in-phase and coherent waves are produced. When these new waves interfere with each other, constructive interference produces large waves, and
_____
interference produces a line of nodes. The amount of interference can be increased by either
_____
the frequency at which the point sources are vibrating or by moving the point sources
_____
apart.
