What is amplitude?

Measurement from the Equilibrium Point to the crest or trough.

100

How fast a wave travels from Point A to Point B.

What is Wave Speed

100

What wave in the Visible Light Spectrum has the highest amount of Energy?

What is Violet

100
This is the bouncing back of rays of light, sound or heat
What is reflection
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

this is where the particles of a wave are spread apart when moving between mediums

What is rarefaction

200
This is the bending of a wave as it passes between two substances
What is refraction
300

This is the measurement from crest to crest or trough to trough. The distance between 2 peaks of a wave.

What is a wavelength.

300
This is the highest point of a transverse wave
What is a crest
300

This is the number of waves that pass a point in a specific amount of time

What is frequency

300

True or False: Electromagnetic Waves are not affected by mediums?

What is False

300

This happens when a wave hits an object. When the wave hits an object, the energy is taken in by that object.

What is absorption.

400

The wave of the Visible Light Spectrum with the Lowest frequency.

What is Red

400
This is the lowest point of a transverse wave
What is a trough
400
If you increase the wavelength, what happens to the frequency?
What is it decreases
400

What type of medium allows Mechanical Waves to travel the fastest?

What are solids

400

The lowest energy wave on the Electromagnetic Spectrum. 

What is Radio Wave. 

500

Which wave has a longer wavelength, the color Violet or X-Ray?

What is a Violet

500
This is what electromagnetic waves can travel through. Another word for empty space
What is a vacuum
500
This is the maximum distance the particles of a wave vibrate from resting position
What is amplitude
500

(Between Wavelength, Frequency and Energy)


Wavelength and Frequency - Wavelength and Energy
