Name that Wave
What part is that?
Hands off my property
What you know about math?
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
A typical transverse wave shares the name of this mathematical function from trig.
What is sine?
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 frequency of a wave if 60 wavelengths pass by a given point in one second.
What is 60Hz?
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 number of waves that pass a certain point in one minute if the frequency is 2 Hz.
What is 120?
300
The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
400
This wave does not need a medium to travel through.
What is an electromagnetic wave?
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
How the amplitude of a wave is measured.
What is half the distance from crest to trough, or the distance form crest/trough to rest position?
400
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
500
These common types of waves are actually a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves.
What are ocean waves (surface waves)?
500
This part describes the highest point from which the medium is disturbed form its rest position.
What is amplitude?
500
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
500
The increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an object’s natural frequency.
What is resonance?
500
These are transverse seismic wave.
What are S waves?
