100
The measurment of the area between the resting point and the crest or the trough (labeled "c").
What is amplitude?
100
Sound is caused by...
What are vibrations?
100
The term used for stored energy.
What is potential energy?
100
Light waves cannot travel through these kinds of materials.
What are opaque objects?
100
The ability to do work and cause change.
What is Energy?
200
The measurment between two crests or two troughs (labeled area "b").
What is wavelength?
200
Sound travels through these kind of waves because it needs a medium to travel through.
What are meachanical waves?
200
The term used for moving energy.
What is kinetic energy?
200
Light waves can completely travel through this kind of material.
What are transparent objects?
200
How energy is transferred.
What are waves?
300
The very top of a transverse wave. (The section labeled "a")
What is the crest?
300
The reason behind how paper cup telephones work.
What are vibrations?
300
The two factors that kinetic energy depends on.
What are speed and mass?
300
Only some light waves travel through these kinds of materials.
What are transluscent objects?
300
These three substances are considered a "medium."
What are solids, liquids, and gasses?
400
The area of a longitudinal wave where the particles of a medium are close together.
What is compression?
400
The measure of a sound's loudness.
What is amplitude?
400
The sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What is mechanical energy?
400
The LOWEST frequency of radiant energy.
What are radio waves?
400
These waves can travel through a vaccum (empty space).
What are electromagnetic waves?
500
The area of a longitudinal wave where the particles of a medium are far apart from each other.
What is a rarefaction?
500
This factor affects the frequency of sound.
What is wavelengh?
500
According to the graph, the section labeled "1" would have the most of this kind of energy.
What is potential energy?
500
This law states that "the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence."
What is the Law of Reflection?
500
These waves need a medium to travel through.
What are mechanical waves.
