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?
Transferred by a wave as it travels between two points in a medium.
What is energy?
The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
The unit used to measure the frequency of sound.
What is hertz?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
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?
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?
The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
This happens to the wavelength as a wave gets longer.
What is decreases?
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
The speed of sound travels is faster through this medium because its molecules are closest.
What is a sold?
Sound waves that travel in the range above 20,000.
What is ultrasound?
The number of waves that pass a certain point in a given time.
What is frequency.
A point of wave that is a direct measure of its energy.
What is an amplitude?
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
The medium that allows a sound wave to travel slowest through it.
What is a gas?
An instrument that uses echolocation to locate objects.
What is sonar?
