Name that Wave
What part is that?
Hands off my property
waves interacting
this and that
100
this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
100
This is the highest part of a transverse wave
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
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
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 bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle.
What is refraction?
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? or Compressional?
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 bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening.
What is diffraction?
300
The rule that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is the law of reflection?
400
A larger wave that is a combination of two waves overlapping.
What is a Constructive interference 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
The interaction between waves that meet.
What is interference?
400
Amplitude on a wave identifies this.
What is a amount of energy?
500
This states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
What is the Law of Reflection.
500
The measurement from rest position to trough, or from rest position to crest.
Amplitude
500
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
500
The frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 10 meters and a wave speed of 200 m/s? Org. Formula- Wave Speed = f*λ
What is 20 Hz?
500
Wavelength of a wave will decrease as this increases.
What is frequency?
