100
These include P waves, S waves, and surface faces.
What is Seismic waves
100
This describes a disturbance that transfers energy fromplace to place.
What is a wave
100
These are waves that require a medium through which to travel
What is a mechanical wave
100
The material through which a wave travels.
What is a medium
100
This is required to make a wave and as a result will cause a medium to vibrate.
What is energy.
200
These waves are transverse waves that come after P waves.
What is S waves or Secondary waves.
200
The highest part of a transverse wave.
What is a crest
200
Waves that move in the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel.
What is a transverse wave.
200
The parts of coil that are close together.
What is compression
200
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency.
300
Huge surface waves on the ocean that are caused by earth quakes.
What is a tsunamis.
300
This is the maximum distance that the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest positions.
What is amplitude.
300
This kind of wave is a longitudinal wave that occurs in earth quakes.
What is P wave or a primary wave.
300
The bending of waves due to a change in speed
What is refraction.
300
Wavelength X Frequency
What is Speed.
400
This records the ground movement caused by seismic waves waves as them move through Earth.
What is seismograph.
400
These points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
What is antinodes.
400
This wave moves the medium parallel to the direction the waves move.
What is a longitudinal wave.
400
The inference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with a smaller amplitude.
What is destructive interference.
400
Shaking a coil or a spring up and down creates a __________.
What is transverse wave.
500
This country recently had an 8.8 earth quake that ruined many of the buildings.
What is Chile
500
The parts of the coil that are spread out in a longitudinal wave.
What is a rarefraction.
500
This is a combination of a longitudinal and a transverse wave that travels along the surface of a medium.
What is surface wave.
500
Is an increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an object's natural frequency.
What is Resonance.
500
This states that the angle of incidence equals the angles of reflection.
What is law of reflection.
