Name that Wave
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
how tall a wave is
What is amplitude?
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle.
What is refraction?
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
When the Doppler effect creates a "wall" of sound waves, you then crash through
What is breaking the sound barrier?
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
The bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening.
What is diffraction?
If you have a wavelength of 6m and a frequency of 6 Hz, what is your wave speed?
What is 36 m/s?
A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it is really two waves interfering as they pass through each other.
What is a standing wave?
Sound is this kind of wave.
What is a longitudinal?
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
The interaction between waves that meet and build on each other.
What is constructive interference?
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
Light is an example of
What is an electromagnetic wave?
when the frequency of a wave seems higher to the observer due to the relative motion of the approaching source.
What is the Doppler effect?
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
The interaction between waves that meet and break down each other.
What is destructive interference?
If you have a frequency of 5 Hz and a wave speed of 15 m/s, my wavelength is....
What is 3 m?
