Wave Properties
This is what waves transfer.
What is energy?
When a wave bounces off and then heads in a different direction.
What is reflection?
The sound of a firetruck coming towards you and then going past you is an example of this.
What is the Doppler Effect?
This is a wave made up of vibrating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light.
What is an electromagnetic wave?
When some light passes through an object, but it looks blurry.
What is translucent?
The matter a wave travels through is called this.
What is a medium?
The bending of waves due to a change in speed.
What is refraction?
This is the type of wave that occurs with destructive interference.
What is a standing wave?
This type of wave the longest wavelength and the lowest frequencies.
What are radio waves?
If a mirror image is inverted this means it's a ______ image.
What is real?
This wave travels at a 90 degree angle.
What is a transverse wave?
Hearing someone talk in the hall while you are in class is called this.
What is diffraction?
Sound has to travel through a medium which means it is this type of wave.
What is a mechanical wave?
This color has the lowest frequency according to the graph.
What is red?
If the image is not inverted and is larger it is this kind of image.
What is virtual?
Rarefaction and compression are parts of this wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
When the energy of the wave transfers to what it encounters
What is absorption?
It seems to be a lot quieter in the winter when there is snow. This is due to what.
What is absorption?
If you can see right through something the object is what.
What is transparent?
This is the day that we will have our topic test.
What is Thursday?
The top of a transverse wave is called this.
What is the crest?
This type of interference occurs when the waves combine to increase the amplitude.
What is constructive interference?
These are the four things that can happen to sound waves when they reach a barrier.
What are they can be reflected, transmitted, absorbed, or diffracted?
If you can't see through something the object is what.
What is opaque?
This electromagnetic wave has the highest frequency
What is gamma rays?
