Wave Basics
What is the highest point of a wave called?
The Crest
What type of wave needs a medium to travel through?
Mechanical Wave
What is the mesure of the wave's energy, or the distance from the rest position to the crest or through?
Amplitude
This wave carries information for your phone calls.
Radion waves
When a wave hits a wall and bounces back, what is that called?
Reflection
What is the lowest part of a wave called?
The Through
What type of wave can travel through vacuum?
Electromagnetic Wave
If a wave has a short wavelength, what can you say about its frequency?
It has a high frequency.
Used to see inside things, like bones.
X-rays
When two waves meet and make a bigger or smaller wave.
Interference
What is a disturbance that transfers energy through space?
A Wave
These waves move up and down, or side to side as they move what are they?
Transverse Waves
What is the unit for frequency?
Hertz
These waves are used in microwaves.
Microwaves
When a wave goes through a small gap and spreads out, what is that called?
Diffraction
What is the distance between the crests and the througs of a wave?
A Wavelength
What is a common example of a longitudinal Wave?
Sound Wave
This describes how many complete cycles happen in a certain amount of time.
Frequency

Visable light waves
What is it called when a wave bounces back?
Reflection
What is the number of waves that pass a point in one second?
Frequency
These waves require a mediam to travel through what is the type?
Mechanical Waves
If a wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and a wavelenght of 10 meters what is its speed?
50 mph
These waves transfer heat what is the name of them?
Infrared waves
On your phone brightness all the way up how dose the wavelenghts of the light waves change?
It dose not
