100
All of the following are types of waves except...transverse waves, longitudinal waves, surface waves, or antinode waves
antinode waves
100
The amplitude of a transverse wave is found by measuring the distance..
from the rest position to the crest
100
An example of a reflected wave is an echo, tsunami, a transverse wave, or a standing wave
an echo
100
Waves produced by earthquakes are known as
Seismic Waves
100
T or change CAPS word....A wave transfers MATTER from one place to another.
energy
200
Waves the require a medium to travel through them are called _______ waves
Mechanical
200
A longitudinal wave has a large amplitude if
it has very crowded compressions and very uncrowded rarefractions
200
Constructive interference occurs when two waves...
combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude
200
Primary, secondary and surface waves are all types of
seismic waves
200
T or change CAPS word...When a wave moves through a hole in a barrier, it BENDS and spreads out.
True
300
The highest part of a wave are called
crests
300
If 300 waves pass a point in one minute, the frequency is
5Hz
300
The bending of waves around the edge of a barrier is know as
diffraction
300
Scientists can tell how far away from them an earthquake occurred by...
the time between the detection of P waves and S waves.
300
Change CAPS word or T....A toy boat bobbing up and down on a pond is being moved by LONGITUDINAL waves
surface
400
The basic properties of waves are ________, wavelength, frequency , and speed
Amplitude
400
In standing waves, ________ are points with zero amplitude.
Nodes
400
T or change all CAPS. The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection EQUALS the angle of incidence.
True
400
T or change all CAPS...The distance from one compression to the next compression is the AMPLITUDE of a longitudinal wave.
