A sound wave with a high frequency will also have a  _________ __________.

High pitch

100

As amplitude increases ___________ increases.

Volume

100

When you see light bouncing off of a surface, you are seeing light waves being _________

reflected

100
Which color reflects all light?

White

100

The distance between one crest and another

Wavelength

200

Why can't we hear sound in space? 

Space is a vacuum/no air

200

Which string will make the highest pitch?  

String 1 

200

The change in direction of light waves or "bending" when they pass through one material to another is 

refraction
200

Which type of telescope is pictured below?


Reflecting telescope

200

The top of a wave

Crest or Peak

300

A sound wave is produced by _________ in matter.

Vibrations

300

What happens to sound when it hits brick wall?

It transmits/goes through and gets reflected

300

If a material allows most light that strikes it to pass through but forms a blurry image, then the material is

translucent

300

Which type of Telescope is pictured below? 



Refracting  Telescope

300

The bottom of the wave

Valley or trough

400

Describe the wavelengths of the sound from object A and how it compares to the sound from object B

A-short wavelengths=high freq.

B-long wavelengths=low freq.

400

What is the definition of an echo?

A reflection of sound

400

Color is arranged by the _________ of visible light.


wavelength or frequency

400

A brick wall does not allow any light to pass through and is therefore __________.

Opaque

400

The height of a wave


Amplitude

500

Which graph is loud and low pitch? Explain your choice using the terms wavelength and amplitude.

Graph B shows a loud and low pitch sound.

-Graph B is showing a loud sound because the height of the waves are tall, which means it has a high amplitude

-Graph B is low pitch because it has longer wavelengths or less waves, which means it has a low pitch.

500

Which state of matter or medium does sound move the slowest?

air or gasses 

500

The name for all waves that give off radiation

Electromagnetic Spectrum

500

Which color has the shortest wavelength (ROYGBIV)?

Violet

500
