Name that Wave
What part is that?
Hands off my property
waves interacting
this and that
100
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
100
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
100
The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.
What is amplitude?
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 material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
200
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
200
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
200
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
200
The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle.
What is refraction?
200
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
300
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
300
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
What is a compression?
300
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
300
In this type of reflection, light is reflected back in all directions.
What is diffuse deflection?
300
The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
400
These waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are used to create an image of a persons bones.
What are x-rays?
400
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
What is a rarefaction?
400
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
400
In this type of reflection the reflected rays are parallel to one another.
What is "specular reflection"?
400
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
500
This device is used to measure the magnitude of a seismic wave.
What is a seismograph?
500
This is the fluid filled structure that is covered with receptor cells that captures sound information and transmits it to the brain.
What is the "Cochlea"?
500
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
500
This is the point where light converges when it passes through a converging lens.
What is the focal point?
500
The amplitude of a longitudinal wave depends on what?
What is the density of the region of compression?
