A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.

What is a wave?

100

The range of all types of electromagnetic waves.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

100

A complete, unbroken path that electric charges can flow through.

What is an electrical circuit?

100

What IT stands for

What is information Technology?

100

The first step in the engineering design process

What is ask?

200

This type of wave requires a medium to travel.

What are mechanical waves?

200

This type of material allows light to pass through without scattering.

What is transparent?

200

The parts of this circuits are connected one after another on the same path. 

What is a series circuit?

200

The physical components of a computer, like the monitor and keyboard.

What is hardware?

200

 This step involves creating a detailed blueprint.

What is Plan?

300

In a wave, the highest point.

What is a crest?

300

This phenomenon occurs when light waves bend as they pass into a new medium.

What is refraction?

300

The difference in electric potential energy per charge between two points in a circuit.

What is voltage?

300

The amount of information transmitted per second over a communication channel.

What is bandwidth?

300

Getting this from others can help improve your design.

What is feedback?

400

The distance from one crest to the next in a wave.

What is wavelength?

400

This effect describes the change in frequency of a sound wave as its source moves relative to an observer.

What is the Doppler Effect?

400

The three main components of a circuit. 

What are a source of electrical energy, connecting wires, and a device that uses electrical energy?


400

Information sent as patterns of electromagnetic waves that represent data at set time intervals.

What is a digital signal?

400

This should be done if changes are made to a model. 

What is re-testing / testing again?

500

This is = wavelength x frequency.

What is wave speed?

500

Stiffness, density, and temperature affect this in a medium.

What is speed of sound?

500

Resistance = Voltage / Current

The name of this formula. 

What is Ohm's Law?

500

The more pixels, the higher the ____________.

What is resolution?

500

Cost, time, available materials are examples of this.

What are constraints?
