100

find the  of cycles made in this picture

2 cycles are in this picture 

100
what happens when 2 waves collide 

they keep on moving without effecting each other

100

what is it called when a wave bounces off of an object

reflection

100

one of the ways we use waves everyday that is everywhere around us

electromagnetic radiation 

100

how do you find wave speed

v=(wave Length) X (frequency)

200

what is the  amplitude  of this wave

the amplitude is 1.5m

200

what is the name of the waves that humans can see

the viable light spectrum

200

what is it called when a wave changes medium 

diffraction

200

waves that vibrate parallel to the movement

Transverse Wave


200

how to find the amplitude of a wave 

1/2(high point)/(low point)

300

a wave has a frequency of 50hz and a wave length of .1 meters what is its velocity

its velocity is 5m/s

300
what is something we interact with everyday that is both a wave and a partial 

light

300

what is it called when a wave bends going into a new medium 

refraction

300

waves that vibrate parallel to the movement

Longitudinal Wave

300

how do you find the period 

period=1/frequency

400

in 4 seconds the wave oscillates 40 times what is its frequency

frequency is 10hz

400

what is it called when 2 waves collide and cancel out making it look like a flat line

Destructive Interference

400

what is it called when a wave is the same as the natural frequency of an object making it oscillate faster 

resonance

400

a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing mediums.

Surface Wave

400

how do you find the frequency 

frequency is the amount of cycles per second
500

a wave oscillates 400 times in 50 seconds what is its period

its period is .125 seconds per oscillation
500

when where waves first radio waves discovered and by who

Heinrich Hertz in the 1880s

500

what is it called when a wave gets compressed or stretched by a moving object making it change

Doppler effect 

500

what do waves move/ carry 

energy

500

how do you find the wave length

look for 2 points at the same area of the wave and measure the difference / wave length=v*f
