Sound
Characteristics of Waves
Wave interactions
Wave Interference
Random
100
The reason why the speed of sound is faster in solids as compared to liquids and gases.
The molecules in solids are closer than in liquids and gases.
100
The direction that a disturbance in a transverse wave moves in relation to the direction of the wave.
What is perpendicular (at right angles)?
100

Which wave interaction occurs when a wave passes through a material?

Transmission

100
What interference is when the displacement is the same?

Constructive

100

If I wanted to INCREASE particle motion, would I heat the substance up or cool it down?

Heat it up

200

Which property of a wave will increase if the volume of the wave increases?

amplitude

200
The direction that a disturbance in a longitudinal wave moves in relation to the direction of the wave.
What is parallel?
200

A wave bounces off a surface and travels back in the direction it came from

Reflection

200

What interference is when the displacement is different?

Destructive

200

I am roasting a marshmallow at a campfire, what heat transfer is cooking the marshmallow?

Radiation

300

If I wanted to reduce the amount of sound, what would I need to use?

An insulator, like foam

300
The distance between rest and the highest or lowest point of a wave.
What is amplitude?
300

A wave changes direction as it moves from one medium into another. What interaction is occurring?

Refraction

300

There is a crest of one wave, meeting a trough of another. What do we do with the amplitudes?

Subtract

300

Which variable in a scientific experiment do you measure?

Dependent

400
Sound travels the fastest through this state of matter.
What is a solid?
400
The distance from one crest to the next crest or one compression to the next compression.
What is wavelength?
400

What happens when a material takes in the energy of a wave instead of allowing the wave to continue?

Absorption

400

I notice that the waves become larger when they come together, what type of interference is this?

Constructive

400

If I wanted to change water to water vapor, what change in state of matter would be happening?

Evaporation

500

If I wanted to lower the pitch of a sound wave, what would I need to change?

The frequency

500
The number of waves passing a fixed point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
500

A sound wave bends around a doorway and can be heard on the other side. Which wave interaction best explains this?

Diffraction

500

There is a crest of one wave that has an amplitude of 4 that meets the trough of another wave that has an amplitude of 4. What is the interference and what is the new amplitude? 

Destructive, zero

500
