What type of wave requires a medium through which to travel?

mechanical wave

100
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.

Name the 4 types of wave behavior

reflection, refraction, diffraction, and absorption

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

What property of a sound wave affects pitch?

frequency and/or wavelength

200

What type of wave behavior is an echo?

reflection

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

This behavior is why you feel warmer wearing a black shirt on a sunny day

Absorption

300
The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
400
Describe the wave as electromagnetic or mechanical:


Radio waves

Sound waves

Microwaves

400
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
400
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
400

Sally hears Jim and Bobert gossiping through a keyhole. What wave behavior allows this?

diffraction

400

How come UV light causes burns, but radio waves do not?

UV rays have more energy

500

Name the type of wave (transverse or longitudinal) for the following waves:

beach waves

a slinky moving back and forth

sound waves

x-rays


beach waves - Transverse

a slinky moving back and forth - longitudinal

sound waves - longitudinal 

x-rays - transverse

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

A person cuts a flute in half. How will this new short flute's pitch be affected and why?

It will be higher pitched because the wavelength is shorter
500

Glasses use this type of wave behavior to correct vision.

refraction

Han and Chewbacca are traveling through space and need to call for back up. Han calls for back up by shouting out of a window, while Chewie sends a radio signal. Which call will reach the rebel forces first and why?

Chewie because sound waves can't travel through a vacuum
