PARTS OF A WAVE
The highest point, or the peak of the wave
What is the CREST
This is something that most waves carry from one point to another, but are not made of it.
What is ENERGY
The word for a wave moving back and forth is called?
What is OSCILLATION
This type of light used for broadcasting information (AM & FM Waves)
What is radio waves
An object is considered this, when it allows all light to go through it
What is transparent
The lowest point of the wave
What is the TROUGH
This type of wave moves perpendicular to the direction that the wave is traveling. Like an ocean wave.
What is a transverse wave?
Sound waves have to have this to be able to travel. Often referred to as a solid, liquid, or gas
What is Matter/Medium
This type of light is used to cook or heat up food with a slightly higher frequency than radio waves
What is microwaves
When an object does this, we are able to see that color
What is reflection?
The line that goes through the center of the wave meaning it is at rest
What is the equilibrium?
The wave disturbance is moving in the PARALLEL is called?
What is a longitudinal wave?
This part of a sound wave is dependent on the wave's frequency.
What is PITCH ?
This type of light is responsible for giving us sunburns
What is Ultra Violet Radiation
RMIVUXG. Radio, Micro, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-Ray, Gamma
The height or size of a wave from the rest position
What is the AMPLITUDE
How many crests/peaks pass by in a certain amount of time. Measured
in hertz (Hz). Equation is: Velocity x Wave Length
What is Wave FREQUENCY?
This part of a sound is dependent on a waves amplitude
What is Volume or Loudness
This type of light is felt as heat
What is infrared light
This color has the largest wavelength
What is RED
The distance from one crest to the next crest
What is the WAVELENGTH
How fast a wave moves from one place to another, measured in meters per second (m/s)
Equation is: Wavelength x Wave frequency
What is Wave VELOCITY
This is a place where sound cannot travel
What is outer Space/Vacuum
This type of light occurs during cancer chemotherapy
What is Gamma Radiation
This color has the shortest wavelength
What is Violet
