Name that Wave
this and that
waves interacting
100

The point on a wave to the same point on the next wave. 

What is a wavelength?

100
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
100
A longitudinal seismic wave.
What is a P wave?
100
These are transverse seismic wave.
What are S waves?
100

The increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an object’s natural frequency.

What is resonance?

200
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
200

The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.

What is amplitude?

200
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
200
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
200

The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.

What is reflection?

300
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
300
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
300
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
300
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
300

The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle.

What is refraction?

400
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
What is a compression?
400
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
400
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
400

The higher the amplitude the more ______ a wave has.

What is Energy? 

400

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

What is diffraction?

500
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
What is a rarefaction?
500

Unit of measurement for frequency.

What is a hertz (Hz)?

500

Light is an example of this type of wave. 

What is electromagnetic wave? (What is a transverse wave?)

500
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
500

The interaction between waves that meet.

What is interference?
