100
These type of waves are incapable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum.
What are Mechanical waves
100
This is the peak of a wave.
What is Crest
100
If the frequency is high or low the ________ changes in sound.
What is pitch.
100
This happens to the image when a pencil is dropped into a glass of water.
What is refraction
100
This is the color spectrum it goes through
What is ROYGBIV
200
These types of waves are the ones that come from radios. They can travel space.
What are Electromagnetic waves
200
This the point in which nothing happens at all on a wave.
What is a Node
200
These waves that come from TV's also come from its name
What are Radio Waves
200
The image of yourself in a mirror
What is a reflection
200
The change in direction of waves as they pass through an opening or around a barrier in their path.
What is Diffraction.
300
This wave is one that vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion.
What are Transverse Wave
300
The number of complete oscillations that a wave makes each second.
What is Frequency
300
Sound Frequencies can be measured in this, and I promise it is not painful.
What are Hz, Hertz.
300
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What is The Law of reflection
300
Speed of light =
(we want the equation)
What is Frequency X Wavelength
400
If you squeeze a Slinky toy together and then release it will move away from the middle going both directions. This is called ?
What is a Longitudinal Wave
400
This a measurement, and I promise it is not painful.
What are hertz, Hz
400
This animal can hear frequencies between 67-45,000 Hz.
What is a Dog
400
What is Concave and Convex reflections
400
Light waves can travel through a
What is a vacuum
500
An increase (or decrease) in the frequency of a wave as the source and observer moving towards (or away from) each other.
What is the Doppler Effect
500
This is the change in direction that waves encounter as they pass through an opening or around a barrier in their path.
What is Diffraction
500
an increase (or decrease) in the frequency of a wave as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other.
What is Doppler effect
500
What is a Ray Diagram
