Describe the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves.
What is transverse waves travel in a vertical motion in the direction of the wave. Longitudinal waves also travel in the direction of the wave but move side to side.

When dropping an object, the higher the starting point, the _______ the energy it will have.
What is greater?
200
Describe what happens when heat is transferred through conduction.
What is the transfer of heat between two objects caused by a temperature difference. Particles must be in contact with each other (should be touching in some form).
200
Which of these two materials can sound travel the fastest? Rubber or Air?
What is Air? Sound can travel nearly 4 times faster through the air than it does through rubber.
200
The color with the shortest wavelength.
What is Violet (purple or indigo is also acceptable).
200
The measure of distance between two crests on a wave
What is wave length?
200
Name two types of force.
What is push and pull?
300
What is the movement of heat through gas and liquid due to the movement of currents?
What is convection?
300
Which of the following can sound travel the fastest? Metal or air?
What is metal? (Remember the pipes?)
300
All colors make up this kind of light.
What is white light?
300
The shorter the wavelength, the ______ energy there is traveling through the wave.
What is more?
300
The higher the fall, the more _____ is generated which releases more energy.
What is force?
400
A force that opposes motion when one surface exerts on another when the two rub against each other.
What is friction?
400
The higher the fall, the faster the acceleration which in turn means: the _____ energy is created.
What is more?
400
The colors of the rainbow, in order.
What is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet?
400
The distance a wave travels from the rest position to the crest position of a wave and back again to rest position.
What is wave amplitude?
400
Energy of movement or motion
What is kinetic energy?
500
The transfer of heat energy from a heat source through an empty space or the heating of the empty space.
What is radiation?
500
Describe how light travels to Earth from the Sun.
What is radiation-waves travel to earth through space.
500
Describe surface waves.
What is a up and down, back and forth motion a wave travels in, creating a circular motion.
500
Invisible force that pulls objects toward each other.
