100

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place

wave

100

the highest point of a transverse wave

crest

100

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is always __________________ to the angle of reflection

equal

100

The type of waves that fill a sauna with heat are

infrared

100

AM radio broadcasts information by varying the ___________________ of the carrier wave

amplitude

200

All waves carry ______________________ without transporting matter from place to place

energy

200

the distance between one point on a wave and a similar point nearest to it 

wavelength

200

The bending of waves due to a change in wave speed

refraction

200

When a police officer uses radar for speed control, the officer is using what kind of electromagnetic waves?

radio waves

200

Radio converts ___________________________ waves into sound waves

electromagnetic

300

Waves are produced by ________________________

vibrations

300

amplitude is the measure of _____________ in a wave

energy

300

The interaction between two waves that meet

interference

300

Which waves have some electrical properties and some magnetic properties?

electromagnetic waves

300

A ____________________ wave is the specific frequency assigned to a radio station for their broadcast

carrier wave

400

when a wave passes through, a boat will 

move up and down

400

frequency is measured in..

hertz (hz)

400

When a wave hits a surface through which it CANNOT pass and bounces back

reflection

400

Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy without a(

medium

400

Visible light can be separated into various colors to form a

spectrum

500

in this type of wave, matter will move back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave is traveling

transverse wave

500

how do you calculate wave speed?

frequency x wavelength 
500

Waves combine to produce smaller or zero-amplitude waves in a process called

destructive interference

500

The type of wave with the highest frequency

gamma rays 

500

FM signals travel as changes in

frequency
