Whats a wave
Wave Properties
Wave Interactions
Interference
A bit of this and that
100
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without moving matter.
What is a wave?
100
The distance I move from the rest position.
What is wave amplitude?
100
When a wave travels through a medium (like air or water) and some of the wave gets transferred into it.
What is absorption?
100
When waves overlap, combine and form a new wave.
What is interference?
100
Read, read, read, read carefully.
What is the most important part of taking a test?
200
I can only travel through matter.
What is a mechanical wave?
200
The amplitude a wave has----whether it has a low or high amplitude depends on the same thing.
What is energy?
200
Light passes through an object---like a window.
What is transmission?
200
When 2 waves combine, form a new wave and the amplitude is greater.
What is constructive interference?
200
Note cards, science notebook, online assessment pages, and other science lab sheets
What are things you can use on the Waves test?
300
I am a wave that my crest moves up and trough moves down but direction of the wave is straight ahead.
What is a transverse wave?
300
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough.
What is wavelength?
300
The wave bounces of a surface.
What is reflection?
300
When 2 waves combine, form a new wave and the amplitude is smaller than the sum of the two waves.
What is destructive interference?
300
Get a good night sleep, eat a good breakfast, and keep a positive attitude.
What are important things to do to be ready to take a test?
400
I am a wave that moves parallel with the direction the wave is going. I am how sound travels.
What is longitudinal wave?
400
Lots of waves or not so many waves.
What is wave frequency?
400
When a wave is reflected from a surface (like a mirror), the angle of reflection is the same as the wave that hits or shines on it.
What is the Law of Reflection?
400
Pertains to building or putting parts together to make a whole that is greater, better or bigger.
What is constructive?
400
Read the questions, skip it if you are not sure on the answer, come back to it and look for key words to help you find the answer.
What are things you should do when taking a test and not sure of an answer?
500
Sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves all share the same type of wave. They may move through water, air, land.
What is a mechanical wave?
500
Ouch, that hurts. Oh no, that is not the right one---it is the unit how wave frequency is measured.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
500
A wave changes directions.
What is refraction?
500
The action or process of destroying something. Changing it to less that it was at the beginning.
What is destructive?
500
Cause earthquakes.
What are seismic waves?
