What is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
Wave
What is a wave that moves the medium at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Transverse wave
What is the bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass
Reflection
What is the bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle, caused by a change in speed?
Refraction
What is the perception of the energy of a sound
Loudness
What is a wave that requires a medium through which to travel
Mechanical Wave
What is a wave that moves in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels
Longitudinal Wave
What is number 1?
Wavelength
What is the bending or spreading of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening?
Diffraction
What is the amount of energy per second carried through a unit area by a wave
Intensity
What is the material through a wave travels
Medium
What is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave, such as the distance between two crests
Wavelength
What is number 2?
Trough
What is the transfer of energy from a wave to a material that it encounters?
Absorption
What is a unit measuring loudness
Decible
What is the energy transfered through space by electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic Radiation
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
Frequency
What is number 3?
Amplitude
A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it´s two waves interfering as they pass through each other?
Standing Wave
What is a prescription of how a sound is perceived as high or low
Pitch
What is the height of a transverse wave from the center to a crest or trough
Amplitude
What is the interaction between waves that meet?
Interference
What is number 4?
Crest
What is the increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an objectś natural frequency?
Resonance
What is the change in frequency of a wave as its source moves in relation to an observer
Doppler Effect
