All of the following are types of waves except:
a. transverse waves
b. surface waves
c. longitudinal waves
d. antinode waves
What are d. antinode waves?
The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal.
What is true?
Waves produced by earthquakes are known as _______.
What are seismic waves?
Waves that require a medium to travel through.
What are mechanical waves?
This is the formula for speed.
What is:
Speed = Wavelength x Frequency?
The amplitude of a transverse wave is found by measuring the distance
a. between 2 crests
b. between 2 troughs
c. from the rest position to a crest
d. from a crest to a trough
What is c. from the rest position to a crest?
Hertz is the unit for speed.
What is false- frequency?
When a wave bounces back as the energy hits a solid surface.
What is reflection?
The basic properties of waves are ______________, wavelength, frequency, and speed.
What is amplitude?
This is the formula for frequency.
What is:
Frequency = Speed / Wavelength
A longitudinal wave has a large amplitude if
a. the compressions are dense
b. the troughs are very low
c. there are no rarefactions
d. the crests are far apart
What is a. the compressions are dense?
A wave transfers a MEDIUM from one place to another.
What is False - ENERGY?
This is how scientists determine how far away an earthquake occurred.
What is by calculating the difference in the time of arrival of the P Waves and S Waves?
The highest parts of a wave are called the ________.
What are crests?
This is the formula for wavelength.
What is:
Wavelength = Speed / Frequency?
Speed, Frequency, and wavelength are related by all of the following formulas except
a. wavelength x frequency = speed
b. frequency = speed / wavelength
c. frequency = wavelength / speed
d. wavelength = speed / frequency
What is c. frequency = wavelength / speed?

What is False- SURFACE?
The bending of waves around the edge of a barrier is known as ___________________.
What is diffraction?
In standing waves, ____________ are points with zero amplitude.
What are nodes?
If a wave is traveling at 16 m/s and one wavelength is 4 m, this is the frequency.
