100
This type of wave needs a medium
mechanical wave
100

This is the symbol for wavelength

What is lambda

100
This is the speed at which a wave is moving
What is wave speed
100
This is where the particles of a longitudinal wave are crowded together
What is compression
100

This is the EM wave with the highest energy.

What are gamma rays

200
X-rays and microwaves are examples of these types of waves
What is electromagnetic
200
this is any substance through which a wave can travel
What is a medium
200
This is The distance from crest to crest, or from trough to trough
What is wavelength
200

All EM waves travel at this speed.

What is the speed of light?

200

These are the EM waves with the longest wavelength

What are radio waves?

300
This is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space
What is a wave
300
This is the highest point of a transverse wave
What is a crest
300
This is the number of waves produced in a certain amount of time
What is frequency
300
These are the two main types of waves
What is transverse and longitudinal
300

This is the part of the EM spectrum responsible for sun burns.

What is ultraviolet?

400
This is a waves where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave
What is longitudinal wave
400
This is the lowest point of a transverse wave
What is a trough
400
This is the maximum distance the particles of a wave vibrate from resting position
What is amplitude
400

Sound waves are examples of this type of wave.

400

This is the speed a wave with a wave length of 10 meters and a frequency of 20 hertz travels.

What is 200 m/s

500
This is a wave where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave
