Waves in General
A word used to describe the amount of energy a wave carries.
What is amplitude?
What is the highest part of a transverse wave?
What is a crest?
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass is known as?
What is a reflection?
This is the color with the longest wavelength.
What is red?
Waves that are parallel are known as
What are longitudinal waves?
The type of waves that use matter to transfer energy.
What are mechanical waves?
What is the distance between crest to crest or trough to trough in a transverse wave?
What is wavelength?
What is the bending of waves due to a change in speed?
What is refraction?
These two colors have the highest frequencies.
What are blue/violet/indigo?
Planaria respond this way when exposed to light.
Bonus* 100 is it transverse or longitudinal
What is move away?
What is transverse?
What is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point per unit of time?
What is frequency?
What is the perceived highness or lowness of a sound?
What is pitch?
This happens to the amplitude when the energy decreases.
What is decreases?
A decrease in energy causes a __________ in frequency.
What is decrease, slow down?
Waves that need no medium to travel are
What are electromagnetic waves?
What is the material through which a wave travels?
What is a medium?
What is a reflective sound wave is known as?
What is an echo?
This type of solid will prevent the transmission of light.
What is opaque?
What type of matter do sound waves travel the fastest through?
What is solid?
Waves used to determine types of rocks are
What are reflective sound waves.
What are types of electromagnetic waves?
Possible answers: Radio waves Infrared waves Visible light waves Ultra violet waves X-Rays Gamma Rays
This is the relationship between wavelength and frequency.
What is the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength? (vv)
What are 2 ways light waves act when they touch an object?
possible answers: reflect, refract, absorb, transmit, diffraction, scatter or disperse
Light of different wavelengths looks like different ______ to humans.
What is color?
For safety reasons, these should be worn in labs utilizing lasers. When there is no longer enough for everyone, students can not do the labs due to (2)
What are safety goggles and selfish people?
A problem we all have to accept if we put up with it.
