This and That
100
Waves carry ______ from one place to another
What is energy?
100
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
What is the wavelength of a wave  at a speed of 30 m/s that has a  frequency of 5 Hz?  (Wavelength = wave speed/frequency)
What is 6m?
100
The material 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
What is the wavelength of a wave at  a speed of 33 m/s that has a  frequency of 3 Hz?  (Wavelength = wave speed/frequency)
What is 11 m?
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 wave that is one half the distance between a crest and a trough.
What is amplitude?
300
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
300
What is the wave speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 5m and  a frequency of 4 Hz?  (Wave speed= frequency x wavelength)
What is 20 m/s?
300
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
What is frequency?
400
A region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are the closest together.
What is compression?
400
The distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave.
What is wavelength?
400
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
400
What is the frequency of a wave  that has a wavelength of 5m  and a wave speed of 20 m/s?  (Frequency= wave speed / wavelength)
What is 4 Hz?
400
What happens to the wavelength if the wave frequency increases?
What is the wavelength gets shorter?
500
A region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are the furthest apart.
What is rarefaction?
500
Frequency multiplied by wavelength
What is wave speed?
500
