100
refers to how waves bounce off an object and change their direction of travel
What is reflection.
100
occurs when the direction of a wave changes because of a change in medium
What is refraction.
100
a disturbance that transfers energy from one point to another
What is a wave.
100
the lowest point of a transverse wave
What is troughs.
100
the height of the wave from its trough or crest to its midpoint, is a measure of the wave's intensity.
What is amplitude.
200
the number of waves per second (cycles per second) with respect to frequency
What is hertz.
200
highness or lowness of a sound, depends on the frequency of the sound waves.
What is pitch.
200
sound waves must travel through this in order to transfer energy.
What is medium.
200
the highest point of a transverse wave.
What is crest.
200
an area where paticles in a medium are pushed together by a wave's energy
What is compression.
300
a compressional wave produced by vibrations in matter
What is sound wave.
300
the difference in the loudness of sound
What is volume.
300
the movement of particles by a wave.
What is vibration.
300
the distance between wave crests and troughs.
What is wavelength.
300
What activity do you do 5,000 times a day?
What is breathe.
400
a reflected sound wave
What is echo.
400
units of measure using volume of sound
What is decibels.
400
a wave that moves matter up and down as it travels through a medium.
What is transverse wave.
400
a measure of how many wave crests or troughs pass a given point in one unit of time.
What is frequency.
400
What part of your body has the most bones?
What is hands.
500
Scientists use these devices to study waves
What is oscilloscopes.
500
the pitch of a sound can seem to change if its source or listener is in motion.
What is Doppler effect.
500
a wave that moves matter back and forth as it travels through a medium.
What is compressional wave.
500
an area where particles in a medium are spread apart by a wave's energy.
What is rarefaction.
500
What is the weakest of your five senses?
What is taste.
