Name that Wave
What part is that?
Hands off my property
waves interacting
this and that
100
This wave 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 distance from the resting point to the crest (or trough) of a wave.
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 through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
200
A wave that moves in an up and down motion.
What is a transverse wave?
200
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
200
The distance between two crests or troughs 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 in a back an forth motion.
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 bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening.
What is diffraction?
300
Waves carry/transfer _______
What is energy.
400
This type of wave needs a medium to travel, which is why there is none in space.
What is sound 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
When a wave travels straight through and object without interacting in any way.
What is transmission.
400
The pitch of a wave depends on the __________
What is frequency.
500
A wave that does not need a medium to travel.
What is an electromagnetic wave
500
This is the middle of the wave (2 words)
What is resting point.
500
The higher the frequency of the wave, the ___________the wavelength.
What is shorter
500
The disappearance of a wave into a medium
What is absorption
500
The loudness of a wave depends on the ___________
What is amplitude.
