What part is that?
Hands off my property
waves interacting
this and that
100
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
100
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
100
The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.
What is amplitude?
100
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
100
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
200
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
200
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
200
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
200
The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle.
What is refraction?
200

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.

What is a wave?

300

A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.

What is a longitudinal wave?

300
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
What is a compression?
300

The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.

What is frequency?

300

The bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening.

What is diffraction?

300

The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.

What is the law of reflection?

400

Two waves at the same point in their pattern strengthen or weaken each other

What is a strenghten?

400

The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.

What is a compression?

400

What is another word for amplitude

What is volume?

400

The interaction between waves that meet.

What is interference?

400

A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.

What is a tsunami?

500

A different name for a longitudinal seismic wave.

What is a compressional wave?

500

The height of a wave

What is amplitude?

500

The measurement of frequency

What is  Hz?

500

WHen waves interact at different points of their wave pattern

What is weaken?

500

This causes you to see color

What is light reflection?
