This and That
100
This creates sound.
What are vibrations?
100
A disturbance moving through a medium.
What is a wave?
100
Sound waves can't move through this.
What is a vacuum (or outer space).
100
How a boat on the ocean will move if the waves are moving east to west.
What is up and down. (or up and down and back and forth, or in circles)
100
The substance that waves move through.
What is medium?
200
The loudness of a sound.
What is volume?
200
The highest point on a transverse waves.
What is a crest?
200
This is created when sound waves bounce off a solid object.
What is an echo?
200
When you drop a pebble in a pond, it makes waves in this shape.
What is a circle?
200
The movement of sound through solids.
What is fast?
300
Whales and tubas make make slow vibrations that have this sound.
What is low pitch?
300
The distance between the trough of one wave to the trough of the next.
What is wavelength?
300
Waves with a high amplitude are.
What is loud?
300
The cause of waves.
What is wind?
300
Sounds with such a high frequency that they can't be heard by humans.
What is ultrasonic?
400
The sound made when a string on a guitar or violin is tightened.
What is a high pitch?
400
The distance from the rest position to the crest of a wave.
What is amplitude?
400
Waves with a high frequency are.
What is high pitch?
400
This is what waves do when they reach shallow areas.
What is break?
400
Bats use this to locate their prey in the dark.
What is echolocation?
500
Large vibrations make this type of sound.
What is loud?
500
The particles in longitudinal waves (pressure waves) move like this.
What is back and forth.
500
Waves with long wavelength are.
What is low pitch?
500
How the particles in a water wave move.
What are circles?
500
Earthquakes cause these huge waves, often called tidal waves.
What are tsunamis?
