Wave-cabulary
What is a wave?
Sound is a specific type of wave which requires matter in order to transfer energy from one place to another.
What is a mechanical wave?
These types of low-energy EM waves carry music, news, communications, and sound to people all across the world.
What is a radio wave?
What is energy?
In this specific year, an earthquake under the Indian Ocean caused catastrophic devastation after it created this water-based phenomenon.
What was the 2004 tsunami?
What is a medium?
Sound can travel anywhere, except in this place.
What is a vacuum/empty space?
These high-frequency EM waves are used by doctors to check for bone injuries.
What is an x-ray?
Waves don't drink coffee, but a wave with a short something has more energy than a wave with a long something.
What is wavelength?
In the Cold War, the United States launched this program that utilized ultrasound waves to detect and counter Russian weapons and ships.
What was the US submarine program? (IUSS)
This is a number that describes how many times a wave passes by a certain point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
These soundproofing boards are made out of foam and other materials to absorb and reflect sound.
What is a microwave?
Waves don't drink coffee, but if you add a lot of sugar and energy, you might get a high-intensity wave with a tall something.
What is amplitude?
In World War II, this weapon was used twice to devastate Japan, and it released high amounts of radiation waves that poisoned miles of land for years around its impact.
What is the nuclear bomb?
This kind of wave does not require any matter in order to move from place to another.
What is an electromagnetic wave?
The amplitude of a sound affects how much it causes air particles to vibrate back and forth, and we hear its effect as this.
What is volume/how loud the sound is?
Night vision goggles and surveillance cameras detect heat off your body that is visible in this form of EM wave.
What is infrared light?
Waves don't drink coffee, but just like a wave, sometimes you need a strong something to get started.
What is a disturbance?
After World War II, this era of music recording began, and it gave musicians the opportunity to record independently from each other in a studio.
What was the Magnetic Era?
This expansion of a medium causes particles in a longitudinal wave to separate and move away from each other for a period of time.
What is a rarefaction?
This color of visible EM wave has the highest frequency, most energy, and especially since a lot can come from screens, it can give you a headache.
What is blue light?
Waves don't drink coffee, but if they have a nuclear amount of energy, they might be a high-frequency wave known as this.
What is a gamma ray?
Who was Albert Einstein?
