Wave
The highest point of a wave is called this.
What is the crest?
Sound travels through the air as this type of wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
Sound Travels fastest through this type of medium?
What is a solid?
When a wave bounces off a surface, this occurs.
What is reflection?
This device uses sound waves to measure the depth of the ocean
What is sonar ?
The distance from one crest to the next is known as this
What is the wavelength?
Light is an example of this type of wave
What is a transverse wave?
The name for the region of a sound wave that is spaced out.
What is rarefaction?
When a wave bends as it passes from one medium into another, this happens.
What is refraction?
The shaking of Earth's surface during an earthquake is causes by these waves.
What is seismic waves ?
This is the lowest point of a wave.
What is the trough?
This type of wave requires a medium to travel through.
What is a mechanical wave?
The perceived pitch of a sound depends on this property of the wave.
What is frequency?
The spreading out of waves as they pass through an opening is called this.
What is diffraction?
This type of electromagnetic wave is used for cooking food quickly
What is microwaves ?
The number of waves passing a point per second is called this.
What is the frequency?
Waves that do not require a medium to travel are called this.
What are electromagnetic waves?
The name of the dense regions on a sound wave.
What is compression?
When two waves meet and combine to form a larger or smaller wave, this is called this.
What is interference?
What is the name of the waves used in medical imaging
What is ultrasound?
The highest or lowest point of a wave, measured from its rest position, in called this.
What is Amplitude
Ocean waves are an example of this combination of wave types.
What are surface waves?
The phenomenon occurs when the reflected ound wave reaches your ears after the original sound.
What is an echo?
This effect causes a change in frequency and wavelength of a wave as the source moves relative to an observer?
What is the Doppler Effect
This natural phenomenon is caused by the refraction and dispersion of sunlight in raindrops.
What is a rainbow ?
