100
This type of wave needs a medium
mechanical wave
100

This occurs when an object seems to have a different pitch as it moves towards or away from an observer. 

What is the Doppler Effect?

100
This is the speed at which a wave is moving
What is wave speed
100

This type of wave moves very fast through outer space.

What is a light wave?

100

This is the bouncing back of rays of light, sound or heat

What is reflection

200
X-rays and microwaves are examples of these types of waves
What is electromagnetic
200

As an object moves closer and closer to you, its frequency and pitch will ______.

increase

200

This is the distance from crest to crest, or from trough to trough

What is wavelength

200

This type of wave moves faster through solids than it does gases. 

What is a sound wave?

200

This occurs when a wave changes direction as it leaves one material and goes into another material. 

What is refraction

300
This is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space
What is a wave
300

As an object moves farther and farther away from you, its frequency and pitch will ______.

decrease

300
This is the number of waves produced in a certain amount of time
What is frequency
300

This type of wave moves faster through gases than it does through solids. 

What is a light wave? 

300

This occurs when a wave bends around a corner or through a small hole. 

What is diffraction

400

This type of wave has compressions and rarefactions. 

What is longitudinal wave

400

As an object approaches you then moves away from you, its pitch will _____ then _____. 

increase then decrease

400
This is the maximum distance the particles of a wave vibrate from resting position
What is amplitude
400
Sound waves are examples of what type of wave?
What is mechanical or longitudinal
400

This occurs when two waves combine to make a bigger wave. 

What is constructive interference

500

This is a wave that has a crest and a trough. 

What is a transverse wave

500

If a firetruck turns on its siren but doesn't move, its frequency and pitch will ______. 

stay constant

500
If you increase the wavelength, what happens to the frequency?
What is it decreases
500
light waves are examples of what type of wave?
What is transverse or electromagnetic
500

This occurs when waves combine to make a smaller wave

What is destructive interference
