Wave Properties
100

This type of wave has the shortest wavelength in the Electromagnetic Spectrum

What is gamma rays?

100

This part of a wave is measured by the distance between two peaks or crests

What is wavelength?

100

This light interaction occurs when the light bounces off at the same angle it hit the surface at

What is reflection?
100

This color of light has the shortest wavelength

What is violet?

100

This will happen to the speed of a sound wave as it moves from a gas to a solid

What is speed up?

200

This type of wave has the longest wavelength

What is Radio waves?

200

This part of a wave measures the distance from the midline, or how "tall" the wave is

What is amplitude?

200

This light interaction is what makes pencils look broken in water

What is refraction?

200

This color of light has the longest wavelength

What is red?

200

This type of medium is what sound travels fastest in

What is a solid?

300

This type of wave is used in TV remotes and types of cameras

What is Infrared waves?

300

This part of a wave is measured by counting the number of waves per second

What is frequency?

300

This light interaction is what causes white light to separate into all the colors of the rainbow

What is refraction?

300

This is what is being reflected to my eye if I see a green leaf

What is green light?

300

This property is true of all forms of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum

What is speed?

400

This type of wave is the smallest section of the entire Electromagnetic Spectrum

What is Visible light? 

400

This part of a wave is the bottom most point of each wave

What is the troughs?

400
The combination of these two light interactions is how we are able to see the colors of objects

What is absorption and reflection?

400

This color of light has the highest energy

What is violet?

400

When the wavelength of a wave increases, this will happen to the waves frequency

What is decrease?

500

This type of wave has the most energy

What is Gamma Waves?

500

This part of a wave is the top most part of each wave

What is the crests?

500

This is what causes a wave to refract as it passes from one medium to another

What is a change of speed?

500

This color of light has the least amount of energy

What is red?

500

This happens to the speed of light as it moves from a gas to a solid

What is slow down?
