Electromagnetic Spectrum
Wave Interactions
100
This word is used when a scientist makes a prediction
What is a "Hypothesis"
100
a disturbance that transmits energy through matter or space
What is a "wave"
100
the highest point of a wave
What is the crest
100
This wave type is the biggest or longest in the electromagnetic spectrum
What is radio wave
100
the bouncing back of a wave as it meets a surface or boundary
What is "reflection"
200
This word describes a type of observation that describes something without using numbers
What is a "qualitative" observation
200
the matter through which a wave travels
What is "medium"
200
the lowest point of a transverse wave
What is trough
200
This type of wave is considered dangerous, it is the highest energy wave on the electromagnetic spectrum
What is a Gamma Ray
200
the bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening
What is diffraction
300
This word describes an observation that involves a numeric quantity.
What is a quantitative observation
300
a wave that does not require a medium to travel
What is an electromagnetic wave, or a light wave
300
the greatest distance that particles in a medium move from their normal or resting position when a wave passes through.
What is amplitude
300
This wave length is the only type of waves Humans can see easily
What is visible light
300
The bending of a wave as they pass from one medium to another
What is refraction
400
This section of a science paper wraps up the findings and gives a direction to move forward in.
What is the "conclusion"
400
An observed change in the frequency of a wave when the source or observer is moving
What is the "Doppler effect"
400
The time required for one full wavelength to pass a certain point
What is period
400
This type of wave is heavily used in the medical field, especially when observing severe physical injuries.
What is "X-Rays"
400
the combination of two or more waves that exist in the same place at the same time
What is interference
500
This tool is used to show numerical information in a clear and concise way, allowing the person/scientist to see relationships in variables measured.
What is a data chart or a graph
500
ƒ = 1 / T describes the measure of vibrations in a certain period of time. What term is being described above?
What is "frequency"
500
The distance between any two successive identical parts of a wave
What is the wavelength
500
This type of wave is responsible for most cases of skin cancer.
What is an ultra-violet ray
500
The team that beat down the saints last weekend in an amazing upset (ESPN POLLS rated the game 97% chance, Saints win)
Who are the buccaneers (yes i didn't capitalize, because well... they don't deserve it yet)
