What is a periodical disturbance

a wave

100

What is the maximum range on a wave

peak

100
What mediums do sound waves need to travel
solid, liquid, gas
100
light waves are what kind of wave
electromagnetic wave
100

the formula for wavelength is

wavelength = velocity / frequency

200

The absence of a medium

a vacuum (like space)

200
What is the minimum range of a wave
trough
200

frequency is used to measure the

how high or low a waves sounds (pitch)

200
when light strikes one surface to another that is
reflection
200

the formula for frequency is

frequency = velocity / wavelength

300
which wave requires a medium
sound waves
300
What is the name for the distance from one wave point to another
wavelength
300
amplitude measures what
how loud or soft a wave will be
300
when light rays are bending in a cup of water this is called
refraction
300

the formula wavespeed is

velocity = frequency x wavelength

400
a wave that moves perpendicular to the medium
transverse waves
400
What is is the name to the distance from the rest position to a wave point
amplitude
400
sound waves are caused by
vibrations
400

Describes matter that lets light through

translucent

400
what is the ray has the highest frequency
that is gamma rays
500
What is a wave that moves parallel to the medium
longitudinal waves
500
What is a complete wave cycle called
period
500

when the peaks and troughs of two waves line up and mesh together 

constructive interference

500

Describes matter that lets no light go through


opaque

500

Waves faster than sound waves

light waves
