Sound Waves/mediums
Wave in which particles vibrate parallel to the direction the wave is traveling
What is Longitudinal Wave?
A type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light but longer than x-rays
What is Ultraviolet Light?
How many waves go past a point in one second
What is Frequency?
Waves in which the medium moves at a right angle to the direction of the wave
What is Transverse Waves?
Where particles are close together
What is Compression?
How we perceive the highness or lowness of a sound
What is Pitch?
A type of electromagnetic radiation used in medical imaging to create black-and-white pictures of the inside of a body
What is X-rays?
Distance between one point on a wave and the exact same place on the next wave
What is Wavelength?
Waves in which the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave
What is Compressional Wave?
Where particles are spread apart
What is Rarefaction?
The undisturbed state of the medium when no wave is present
What is rest position?
High energy radiation short-wavelength form of electromagnetic radiation produced by the decay of atomic nuclei.
What is Gamma Rays?
Distance from rest position to crest/trough
What is Amplitude?
Does not need a medium
What is Electromagnetic Waves?
What is Loudness?
sound travels fastest through which medium
What is solids?
The portion of the Electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can detect.
What is Visible Light?
Highest point of the wave
What is Crest?
Must have a medium in order to move
What is Mechanical Waves?
A disturbance that carries energy from place to place
What is a Wave?
Sound travels slowest through what medium
What is gases?
An electromagnetic wave that is shorter than a normal radio wave but longer than infrared radiation.
What is Microwaves?
Lowest point of the Wave
What is trough?
A type of electromagnetic radiation with long wavelengths + low frequency
What is Radio Waves?
A material for a wave to travel though
What is Medium?
