Name that Wave
What part is that?
Hands off my property
waves interacting
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
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 kind of wave demonstrated by the slinky
Transverse
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 is the only electromagnetic wave we can see.
visible light.
300
Mr. Bramley's favorite color
green
400
A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it is really two waves interfering as they pass through each other.
What is a standing wave?
400
The height of the wave.
amplitude
400
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
400
TV and Radio signals emit these waves
Radio Waves
400
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
500
The type of wave demonstrated by the slinky.
Longitudinal wave
500
From crest to crest
wavelength
500
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
500
These electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelength.
gamma rays
500
These are waves that earthquakes make
seismic waves
