What is trough?
The distance between the resting point and the crest
What is amplitude
True or False: If there is NO light you cannot see at all.
What is True?
Do waves carry matter or energy?
What is energy?
The distance between the crest and the equilibrium
What is amplitude?
Sound travels through this medium the fastest
What is solid
How does light travel?
What is a straight line?
These waves do NOT need a material to travel; they can travel in a vacuum.
What are electromagnetic waves?
The distance between to waves
What is wavelength?
Sound waves travel through this the slowest
What is gas
A material that allows almost all the light to pass straight though them.
What is Translucent?
A type of wave formed by moving energy which is made up of photons.
What is a light wave?
The line running through the center of the wave
What is equilibrium or line of origin?
The most dense medium
What is solid
What is Opaque?
The type of wave that moves through matter and then vibrates our eardrums so we can hear.
