Name that Wave
What part is that?
Hands off my property
changes in wave properties
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
Larger amplitude equals
What is more energy?
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
Shorter wavelength equals
What is higher frequency?
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
Higher frequency equals
What is more energy?
300
The shortest wavelength on the Electromagnetic Spectrum
What are Gamma Rays?
400
I do not need matter to transfer energy
What is electromagnetic waves?
400
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
What is a rarefaction?
400
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
400
Longer wavelength equals
What is lower frequency?
400
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
500
You can ride these as long as there is a good crest
What is an ocean wave?
500
The peak of the crest, measures the amount of energy in a wave.
What is the amplitude?
500
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
500
Lower frequency equals
What is less energy?
500
The "Seis" of my waves determine the level on the richter scale.
What is a seismic wave?
