100

This wave moves particles perpendicular to the direction the energy wave is traveling.

What is a Transverse Wave?

100
Sound waves are this type of mechanical wave.
What is Longitudinal?
100

This is what type of sound you will hear if the wave has a high frequency.

What is a high pitch noise?

100

Is a magnet still magnetic in space? Why or why not?

Yes, because magnetic force does not need a medium (matter) to travel

100

What do you call a group of lions?

A pride

200

This is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.

What is Wavelength

200

The states of matter that sound can travel through.

What are solids, liquids, and gases (+ plasma)?

200

This is what the volume would sound like if a sound wave had a small amplitude.

What is a quiet sound?

200

What is photosynthesis and why is it important?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants absorb light energy from the sun and process it into glucose (sugar) as food for themselves.

200
The biggest planet in the solar system.

Jupiter

300
This is what the particles are doing when a mechanical wave passes.
What is Vibrates?
300
This is what we call a sound wave that is reflected back toward us.
What is an Echo?
300
Describe or draw the Law of Reflection using sound waves as an example.

When sound waves reach an obstacle, they will bounce off (reflect) a wave back towards the source of the sound.

300

This is the element represented by the symbol Fe on the Periodic Table of Elements.

What is Iron?

300

What is a baby goat called?

A kid

400
These waves move particles parallel to the direction of energy.
What are Longitudinal?
400
This is something that sound waves can not travel through.
What is a vacuum?
400

This is the solid material through which sound will move the fastest.

What is a metal or glass?

400

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Mass is not dependent on gravity, but weight is.

400

Who painted the Mona Lisa?

Leonardo Da Vinci

500

This is the distance from the resting position to a crest OR trough, in other words this is the height of the wave..

What are amplitude?

500
This is what the area is called when the particles of a sound wave (Longitudinal) are spread out.
What is Rarefaction?
500

This is the type of matter that will absorb sound waves and makes a good insulator for noise canceling headphones.

What is a soft solid? (rubber, foam, etc.)

500

This is the largest mammal on Earth.

What is the Blue Whale?

500

Where did the Olympic Games originate? (what country?)

Ancient Greece!
