What type of waves require a medium to travel through?
What are mechanical waves.
100
What type of mechanical wave moves the medium perpendicular to the flow of energy?
What are transverse waves.
100
What are the three ways to measure wavelength?
What is crest to crest, trough to trough, and normal to normal.
100
What happens to wavelength when the frequency is increased?
What is decreases.
200
What state of matter has an indefinite shape and a definite volume?
What is a liquid

Give 3 examples of a mechanical wave.
What are water waves, seismic waves, and sound waves.
200
What are the three parts of a transverse wave?
What are crest, trough, and normal.
200
What measurement of energy looks at how far the particles move from their resting point.
What is amplitude.
200
What happens to the amplitude of a wave when the source of energy is low?
What is decreases.

What type of waves DO NOT require a medium to travel through?
What are electromagnetic waves.
300
What type of mechanical wave moves particles parallel to the flow of energy?
What are longitudinal waves.
300
What is the number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time?
What is frequency.
300
What type of matter do waves travel the fastest through and why?
What is a solid and because of the particle arrangement of a solid.
400
What state of matter can be measured with a ruler?
What is a solid.
400
What is the material called that a wave travels through?
What is a medium.
400
What are the two parts of a longitudinal wave?
What are compression and rarefaction.
400
How do scientists measure the amplitude of a longitudinal wave?
What is by looking at how compressed or rarefied the medium becomes.
400
What is the proper definition of a wave?
What is a rhythmic disturbance that carries energy from place-to-place, but NOT matter.
500
What does a wave transfer as it travels between two points?
What is ENERGY!!!!
500
What happens to the energy in a wave over time?
What is gets weaker as it moves further from the source of energy.
500
What is the highest part of a transverse wave called?
What is a crest.
500
What are the two ways to measure the amplitude of a transverse wave?
What is from normal to crest and normal to trough.

What is the unit of measurement used for frequency?
What is hertz (Hz).
