Parts of a Wave
Any oscillation (back-and-forth or up-and-down motion) that travels from one medium to another, transferring energy.
What is a wave?
Waves that can only travel through a physical medium (matter).
What are mechanical waves?
Waves transfer ______, not matter.
What is energy?
How many versions of Spiderman are there in the MCU?
What is three (3)? Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland.
Waves hitting matter and bouncing off.
What is reflection?
The peak, or highest point, of a transverse wave.
What is the crest?
A type of longitudinal wave. Vibrations of air particles that transmit sound.
What are sound waves?
The distance a wave moves up or down from its resting position.
What is amplitude?
What are the name of the seven dwarfs in Snow White?
What is Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey?
Energy of the wave passes THROUGH the medium.
What is transmittance?
The valley, or lowest point, of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
When the medium (matter) of a wave is PERPENDICULAR to the wave's energy (up-and-down motion). It is this type of wave.
What is a transverse wave?
The number of wave vibrations produced in one period of time (1 second).
What is frequency?
What is the name of Hagrid's male hippogriff, in Harry Potter? It is mythical creature with the front of an eagle and the back of a horse.
What is Buckbeak?
Waves energy is TAKEN IN by the medium.
What is absorption?
The distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the next wave (from crest to crest or trough to trough).
What is a wavelength?
When the medium (matter) moves PARALLEL to the direction of the wave energy. Put simply: When a wave moves forward and back.
What is a longitudinal wave?
Frequency is measured in this.
Hertz (Hz)
In Loki, what does the TVA stand for?
What is the Time Variance Authority?
Waves bending AROUND objects/obstacles.
What is diffraction?
The position where there is no energy, and is used to measure the amplitude from. It is known as ______________ point.
What is resting point?
Visible light, microwaves, radio, infrared, UV, X-rays, and gammy rays are all examples of these types of waves.
What are electromagnetic waves?
Mechanical waves require a physical ________ in order to transmit energy.
What is a medium?
What is the Latin motto of the Gryffindor house in Harry Potter?
Forti Animo Estote, meaning "Be of Good Courage", or "Stay Strong of Heart".
Waves changing speed and direction when going through objects of DIFFERENT DENSITIES.
What is refraction?
