Name that Wave
What part is that?
Wave propagation
waves interacting
this and that
100
This kind of wave has is known to travel through a medium
What is a Traveling wave?
100
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest, or peak?
100
This action starts the was.
What is a wiggle,oscillation or disturbance?
100
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface or a wall through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
100
The material through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
200
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
200
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough or valley?
200
The object that the wave travels through,(all mechanical waves need this to exist)
What is a medium?
200
when a wave meets a boundary it is return in this position?
what is upside down or rotated 180 degrees?
200
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave or wiggle?
300
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
300
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.(most dense region)
What is a compression?
300
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
300
The type of interaction that occurs when a wave crest overlaps another wave crest.
What is constructive interference?
300
The units of period.
What is seconds?
400
A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it is really two waves interfering as they pass through each other.
What is a standing wave?
400
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.(less dense)
What is a rarefaction?
400
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
400
The interaction between waves that meet.
What is interference?
400
The wavelength of a water wave that has frequency of 10Hz and is traveling at 4.0m/s
What is a 0.4m?
500
A wave that is associated with a certain standing wave pattern caused by a very specific frequency.
What is a Harmonic?
500
The part of the wave, from which we measure the amplitude..
What is midpoint or equilibrium point?
500
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
500
The interaction that occurs when a wave crest meets a wave trough of another wave.
what is destructive interference?
500
A ray of visible light is seen on a wall.If the wavelength of the light is 7.8 nanometers, what is the frequency of light.
3.85E16 Hz
