What are Waves
A wave transmits this.
What is energy
The distance on a transverse wave from crest to crest.
What is wavelength?
A wave bouncing off of a surface.
What is reflection?
What happens to waves when a crest and trough with equal amplitude meet.
The four ways sound can interact with materials.
What are reflection, transmission, absorption, and diffraction?
What is a medium?
The amount of times a wave repeats in a given amount of time.
What is frequency?
What is refraction?
What happens when a crest with a large amplitude meets and trough with a small amplitude.
What is destructive interference or the crest wins? 100 bonus points if both answers are given.
The fastest state for sound to travel through because it is the stiffest.
What is a solid?
A mechanical wave cannot travel through this.
What is a vacuum?
What is Hertz?
The reason you can hear someone talking down the hallway from inside your classroom.
What is diffraction?
A wave that appears to stand in place
What is a standing wave?
The way sound travels through more dense objects.
What is slower?
A wave that travels perpendicular to the source of vibration.
What is a transverse wave?
Determined by the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time.
What is speed?
When the energy of a wave is transferred to the material it encounters and stops.
What is absorption?
The points on a standing wave that appear to not be moving.
What are nodes?
What is increase?
A wave that travels in the same direction as the source of the vibration.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The formula to calculate a waves speed.
What is wavelength x frequency?
When two wave crests meet and make a larger wave crest than either of the two by themselves.
What is constructive interference?
What happens when the amplitude of a vibration increases when external vibrations match an object's natural frequency.
What is resonance?
When solids get warmer, this is what happens to the speed of sound traveling through them.
