100

The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.

What is reflection

100

The interference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with an amplitude smaller than the amplitude of either of the individual waves.

What is destructive interference

100

A repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion.

What is vibration

100

A wave that moves the medium at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels.

What is transverse wave

100

The height of a transverse wave from the center to a crest or trough.

What is amplitude

200

The ability to do work or cause change.

What is energy

200

The highest part of a transverse wave.

What is crest

200

The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.

What is compression

200

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave, such as the distance between two crests.

What is wavelength

200

A point of zero amplitude on a standing wave.

What is a node

300

The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.

What is rarefaction

300

The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.

What is frequency

300

A unit of measurement for frequency.

What is a hertz.

300

The lowest part of a transverse wave.

What is trough

300

A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it is two waves interfering as they pass through each other.

What is standing wave

400

A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.

What is longitudinal wave

400

The interaction between two waves that meet.

What is interference

400

A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.

What is antinode.

400

The increase in amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an object's natural frequency.

What is resonance

400

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.

What is wave

500

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle, caused by a change in speed.

What is refraction

500

What do you call the material which waves travel through and name the 3 kinds.

What is medium.... Solid, Liquid, Gas

500

The bending or spreading of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening.

What is diffraction

500

The interference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with an amplitude larger than the amplitude of either of the individual waves.

What is constructive interference
500

A wave that requires a medium through which to travel.

What is mechanical wave
