HAHAHAHA
What is is the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are closest together?
Compression
What is a low frequency, low energy electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength longer than 30cm?
Radio wave
What is the part of the ear where sound waves travel through fluid filled chambers called cochlea.
The Inner Ear
What is the change in the direction of a wave as it changes speed, moving from one medium to another?
Refraction
What is the perception of how high or low a sound seems?
Pitch
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Transverse Wave
What is the part of the ear when sound waves hit against the eardrum, causing it to vibrate
The Middle Ear
What is an electromagnetic wave with a slightly shorter wavelength and a higher frequency?
Ultraviolet Wave
What is the unit used to measure sound intensity, or loudness?
Decibel
What is an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength shorter than a microwave but has a longer light?
Infrared wave
What is the part of your ear that is shaped like a cup to collect sound waves?
Outer ear
What is a wave that makes the particles of a medium move back and forth parallel to the direction the wave travels?
Longitudinal Wave
What is a material that allows almost all of the light pass through, and can be seen clearly?
Transparent
What is a material that lets most of the light through, but objects can be blurry?
Translucent
