100

The distance from the midpoint to the crest.

What is the amplitude?

100
The inverse of period.
What is frequency?
100
The higher the frequency then the shorter the_________.
What is wavelength?
100
Produced by the vibration of material objects.
What is Sound?
100

The color of light depends on this corresponding to a wave.

What is the frequency?

200

This property of a wave depends on the material through which the wave moves.

What is the wave speed?

200
The equation for wave speed.
What is v=fλ?
200
The distance in meters from the crest of one wave to the crest of another.
What is wavelength?
200

People can easily hear sound with this range of frequencies.

What is 20 - 20,000 Hz?

200

The value for the speed of light in air.

What is 300 million m/s?

300
The medium particles move back & forth (oscillated) perpendicular to direction of wave.
What is aTransverse Wave?
300
Waves travel at a speed of 4 m/s at a frequency of 2 Hz. Therefore the wavelength must be_________.
What is 2 meters?
300
Part of the electromagnetic spectrum that contains color.
What is visible light?
300
The actual speed of sound at normal room Temperture of 20 degrees C.
What is 340 m/s?
300

This color light has the smallest frequency, and therefore, the longest wavelength.

What is red light?

400
Electromagnetic Waves with the greatest frequency.
What are Radio Waves
400
Waves travel at a frequency of 4.0 Hz. Therefore, their period must be________
What is 0.25 s?
400

All the different wavelengths of visible light combined together. (Hint: Before it is refracted in a prism it is?)

What is White Light?

400

Sound cannot travel through this medium.

What is a vacuum?

400

Light from a galaxy that is moving away from us appears to be red due to this.

What is the Doppler effect?

500
The period of a wave with a frequency of 50 HZ.
What is 0.02 s?
500

A building sways back and forth every 10 seconds. Therefore the frequency of its vibrations is _____.

What is 0.1 HZ?

500
Electromagnetic waves with the highest frequency and shortest wavelengths.
What are Gamma Rays?
500
Increase in measured frequency from an approaching source.
What is the Doppler Effect?
500

People can see light with this estimated value of frequencies.
