Characteristics of Waves
Earthquakes cause these types of waves:
What are transverse and longitudinal?
The distance from crest to crest, or trough to trough:
What is the wavelength?
When waves bounce back from a hard object:
What is an echo?
These waves have the longest wavelengths
What are radio waves?
States that the angle of reflection always equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
Slinkies are an example of:
What are longitudinal waves?
Frequency is measured in this:

The low point of a wave is called:
What is the trough?
Waves travel _______ through gases.
What is slowly?
When waves pass through an opening in an obstacle:
What is diffraction?
The waves with the lowest frequencies also have the lowest energy. True or False.
What is True?
A blurry reflection is called...
What is diffuse reflection?
The distance from the resting point to either the crest or the trough is called the:
What is the amplitude?
