Wave behavior
100

The distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave. 

What is wave length? 

100

Water waves a kind of this type of mechanical wave.

What are transverse waves?

100

EM waves travel in this kind of energy transfer.

What is radiation? 

100

Waves transfer energy without transferring this. 

What is transferring matter?

200

The maximum distance that the particle of a wave’s medium vibrate from the rest of their position.

What is amplitude? 

200

Mechanical waves need this to travel. 

What is a medium? 

200

All electromagnetic waves are this kind of wave.

What are transverse waves?
200

This happens after a wave passes. 

When do particles go back to their original position? 

300

The number of waves or wave cycles produced in a given amount of time.

What is frequency?

300

Sound is this kind of mechanical wave.

What are longitudinal waves? 

300

This electromagnetic wave causes sunburns, but also helps create vitamin D.

What are ultraviolet waves?

300

Electromagnetic waves do not need to transfer this.

What is energy?

400

These waves travel in the same direction as the disturbance.

What are longitudinal waves?

400

Mechanical waves travel the fastest in this kind of state of matter.

What are solids?

400

All electromagnetic waves travel as fast as this in a void. 

What is the speed of light?

400

This symbol represents this in the equation.

What is wavelength? 

500

When it comes to gaming, the hertz refresh rate of a monitor is equivalent to this gaming term. 

What is frames per second? 

500

Mechanical waves travel farther the less this is.

What is density?

500

These are the largest kind of electromagnetic wave.

What are radio waves?

500

This is the equation for wave speed of a mechanical wave.

What is equal to wavelength divided by wave period?
