100

White light is a combination of which light colors (must name them all)

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

100

The highest point of a wave

Crest

200

When the volume of a sound increases or decreases, this property of the wave changes.

Amplitude

200

When light bounces off of a surface

Reflection

200

The lowest point in a wave.

Trough

300
As the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength will ___________________.
Decrease
300

When some colors of light do not pass through a filter, this is an example of...

Absorption

300

The measured distance between two crests of a continuous wave.

Wavelength

400

Sounds require this to travel from the source to the receiver.

400

The measurement of large a wave is from its rest position.

Amplitude

500
