WHAT ARE WAVES?
PROPERTIES OF WAVES
INTERACTION OF WAVES
RANDOM
100
THE MATERIAL THROUGH WHICH A WAVE TRAVELS
What is A MEDIUM?
100
THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE THAT THE PARTICLES OF THE MEDIUM CARRYING THE WAVE MOVE AWAY FROM THEIR REST POSITION.
What is AMPLITUDE?
100
WHEN AN OBJECT OR A WAVE HITS A SURFACE THROUGH WHICH IT CANNOT PASS, IT BOUNCES BACK.
What is REFLECTION?
100
THE BASIC PROPERTIES OF WAVES.
What ARE AMPLITUDE, WAVELENGTH, FREQUENCY, AND SPEED.
200
WAVES THAT REQUIRE A MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH TO TRAVEL
What ARE MECHANICAL WAVES?
200
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO CORRESPONDING PARTS OF A WAVE.
What is WAVELENGTH?
200
WHEN A WAVE ENTERS A NEW MEDIUM AT AN ANGLE, ONE SIDE OF THE WAVE CHANGES SPEED BEFORE THE OTHER SIDE, CAUSING THE WAVES TO BEND.
What is REFRACTION?
200
AN INCREASE IN THE AMPLITUDE OF A VIBRATION THAT OCCURS WHEN EXTERNAL VIBRATIONS MATH AN OBJECT'S NATURAL FREQUENCY.
What is RESONANCE?
300
A REPEATED BACK-AND-FORTH OR UP-AND-DOWN MOTION.
What is A VIBRATION?
300
THE NUMBER OF COMPLETE WAVES THAT PASS A GIVEN POINT.
What is FREQUENCY?
300
WHEN A WAVE MOVES AROUND A BARRIER OR THROUGH AN OPENING IN A BARRIER, IT BENDS AND SPREADS OUT.
What is DIFFRACTION?
300
THE INTERFERENCE THAT OCCURS WHEN WAVES COMBINE TO MAKE A WAVE WITH A LARGER AMPLITUDE.
What is CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE?
400
WAVES THAT MOVE THE MEDIUM AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE WAVES TRAVEL
What ARE TRANSVERSE WAVES?
400
FREQUENCY IS MEASURED BY THESE UNITS.
What ARE HERTZ?
400
THE INTERACTION BETWEEN WAVES THAT MEET.
What is INTERFERENCE?
400
POINTS OF ZERO AMPLITUDE ON A STANDING WAVE.
What ARE NODES?
500
THIS WAVE MOVES THE MEDIUM PARALLEL TO THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE WAVES TRAVEL.
What ARE LONGITUDINAL WAVES?
500
WAVELENGTH X FREQUENCY
What is SPEED?
500
A WAVE THAT APPEARS TO STAND IN ONE PLACE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS REALLY TWO WAVES INTERFERING AS THEY PASS THROUGH EACH OTHER.
What is A STANDING WAVE?
500
HUGE SURFACE WAVES ON THE OCEAN.
What ARE TSUNAMIS?
