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 units for the volume of sound
What are decibals (Db)?
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 (such as crest to crest or trough to trough).
What is wavelength?
200
The effect when soundwaves of an object begin to increase in frequency as the object moves toward you and decrease in frequency as the object moves away
What is the Doppler Effect?
200
A disturbance (vibration) 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
The amount of energy represented in the compression part of a soundwave
What is amplitude?
300
The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
400
These waves can travel through a vacuum or space
What are electromagnetic waves?
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
The average speed of sound at room temp
What is 340 m/s?
400
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
500
These waves are often used for cell phone communication and cooking your food
What are microwaves?
500
A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
What is an antinode?
500
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
500
The increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an object’s natural frequency.
