100
This is a measurement of the distance between the crest and mid-line of a transverse wave.
What is amplitude?
100
This is a type of transverse wave that carries photons.
What is a light wave?
100

This color of the visible spectrum carries the most energy

What is violet?

100
A higher (this) of a sound wave makes a louder sound.
What is amplitude?
100
This happens to light waves that get "trapped" and dissipate into a material or object.
What is absorbed?
200
This is a measurement of the length of one full cycle of a wave.
What is wavelength?
200
This type of wave requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a sound wave?
200

A tuning fork causing the another fork to vibrate without physical contact is an example of 

What is resonance?

200
A lower (this) in a sound wave is perceived as a lower pitch.
What is frequency?
200
This term is used to describe something that light cannot transmit through.
What is opaque?
300
This is the number of wavelengths that pass by a given point per second of time.
What is frequency?
300
This is a type of longitudinal wave that transfers energy by colliding particles into each other.
What is a sound wave?
300

A pencil looks broken when hanging in a clear cup of water due to this phenomenon 

What is refraction? 

300
The volume of a sound is measured in this unit.
What is a decibel?
300
This is what happens to the wavelengths of light that our eyes are able to see?
What is reflected?
400
This is an area of low density in the medium of a sound wave.
What is a rarefaction?
400
This type of wave can travel through the vacuum of space.
What is a light wave?
400

The absence of light waves reflected to your eye produces this "color".

What is black?

400
Sound waves need this in order to travel and transfer energy.
What is a medium?
400
Stained glass is an example of this type of material, that lets light pass through but makes it blurry on the other side.
What is translucent?
500
This type of wave is characterized by having particles that move parallel to the motion of the wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
500
This type of wave contains high points called "crests" and low points called "troughs"
What is a transverse wave?
500

This type of light contains all of the wavelengths and frequencies in the visible spectrum.

What is white light?

500
We hear a higher pitch when these are closer together in a sound wave.
What are compressions (or rarefactions)?
500
When light waves travel straight through a material, they are said to be (this).
What is transmitted?
