100
Waves transfer ______, NOT _______, from one place to another.
ENERGY, not MATTER
100
What kind of wave is this?
Transverse
100
Which wave behavior describes the bouncing back of a wave when it meets a surface?
Reflection
100
Draw a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave. Label which wave is which.
200
Which of the following is NOT a way that waves interact with matter?
A) Waves can be reflected by matter.
B) Electromagnetic waves are longitudinal waves
C) Waves can change direction when they travel from one material to another.
D) As waves pass through matter, some of the energy they carry can be transferred to matter
B
200
In which type of wave does the particles of the wave move up and down, or in a perpendicular direction, compared to the movement of the entire wave?
Transverse Waves
200
Which wave behavior describes the transfer of the energy in a wave to the medium as the wave passes through it.
Absorption
200
Which part of a wave is responsible for volume in a sound wave? (note: the image below is NOT a sound wave but a transverse wave. However, there is a part of the below wave that relates to sound and volume)
D (Amplitude)
300
And Why?!
A - Higher Frequency = Higher Energy
300
In which type of wave does the wave move in the same direction, or a parallel direction, as the particles within that wave?
Longitudinal
300
Which wave behavior describes when waves pass straight through a medium.
Transmission (Transmit)
300
Which letter on the image is responsible for the pitch we hear? (note: the image below is NOT a sound wave but a transverse wave. However, there is a part of the below wave that relates to sound and pitch)
A = Wavelength
(longer waves = lower frequency = lower sounds)
(Shorter waves = high frequency = higher sounds)
400
Fastest - Solid
Medium - Liquid
Slowest - Gas
400
What is the category of waves that DOES NOT HAVE TO have a MEDIUM to travel through (like empty space)?
Electromagnetic Waves
400
What is the Wave behavior that describes how waves change direction when it travels from one medium to another.
Refraction
400
Label each letter below AND tell me what type of wave this is
A - Wavelength
B - Crest
C- Resting Point
D- Amplitude
E- Trough
Type - Transverse Wave
500
AND WHY!?
A- because higher amplitude = higher energy
500
What is the category of waves that HAS TO have a MEDIUM to travel through?
Mechanical Wave
500
Which Wave Behavior is used to describe how waves can spread out when going around obstacles, corners, or openings
- Diffraction
500
Label each letter below AND tell me what type of wave this is
A- Compressions
B- Rarefactions
C- Wavelength
Type - Longitudinal (Compression) Wave
