Transverse
wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
what is a transverse wave
makes particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
what is a longitudinal wave
transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels (like dissolving energy)
what is absorption
These two teachers teach core classes and share a birthday of January 20th
who is Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Verely
a disturbance that transfers energy from place to another
what is a wave
highest point on a transverse waves
what are crests
Though they both have names that suggest they can fly, they can't- this superhero and his sidekick wear capes while fighting in Gotham City
Who is Batman and Robin
what is transmission
occurs when waves overlap and form a new wave
what is interference
direction all waves move
away from source of energy in all directions
lowest point on a transverse wave
what are troughs
region a wave where particles in the medium are closets together
what is a compression
This famous duo spend quality time running around the forest, causing trouble, and stealing picnic baskets
when a crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave- the amplitude becomes small
what is destructive interference
number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
what is frequency
Though retired now, this MLB player started for the Mariners and eventually ended his career in pinstripes. He picked up a big win by dating this worldwide musical sensation who entertained millions at last Super Bowl halftime.
Who is Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) and Jennifer Lopez (J-Lo)
region of a wave where the particles are farthest apart
what is rarefaction
when a wave bounces off a surface
what is reflection
when crests overlap crests - the amplitude increases
what is constructive interference
frequency X wavelength
what is wave speed
the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
measurement of compression to compression or rarefaction to rarefaction
what is wavelength
the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
what is refraction
When a crest and a trough of two waves overlap and they have the same amplitude -cancelling each other out- no amplitude
what is standing waves
Almost older than time itself, this famous duo is what almost every American child grew up with between 2 slices of bread
what is peanut butter and jelly
