100

This is the distance between two crests or two compressions.

Wavelength

100

These waves can travel through a vacuum.

electromagnetic waves

100

In this type of wave, particles move perpendicular to the wave’s direction.

transverse wave

100

Which part of the spectrum is visible to the human eye?

Visible Light

100

Performing for the Halftime show for the Super Bowl

Bad Bunny

200

This tells how many waves pass a point in one second.

Frequency

200

This EM wave is used for communication like WiFi and cell phones.

microwaves

200

In this type of wave, particles move parallel to the wave’s direction.

longitudinal wave

200

Put these in order from longest to shortest: Radio, Microwave, Infrared.

Radio → Microwave → Infrared

200

Number one show in the summer of 2025

Love Island

300

This is the height of a wave and is related to energy.

Amplitude

300

his EM wave has the longest wavelength

Radio Waves

300

This is an example of a longitudinal wave.

sound wave

300

This wave is just beyond visible red light.

Infrared

300

Sinners movie what based off what state in the U.S

Mississippi

400

If frequency increases, this value decreases.

Period

400

These EM waves have the highest energy.

Gamma Rays

400

Two waves combining to make a larger wave.

Interference

400

This wave can cause sunburns.

Ultraviolent

400

If you need to find your missing work, you can go to what App

Microsoft Teams

500

Calculate: A wave has a frequency of 3 Hz and a wavelength of 4 m.

12 m/s

500

As wavelength decreases in the EM spectrum, this increases.

frequency (and energy)

500

This happens when a wave matches the natural frequency of an object, causing large vibrations.

Resonance

500

A wave spreading after passing through a narrow opening.

Diffraction
