Wave types
A disturbance or vibration that carries energy
what is a wave
a wave that can be used for remote control technology
what is infrared
the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave
what is wavelength
In sound waves, the amplitude increases this property of sound
what is volume or loudness
for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction
what is Newton's Third Law
type of wave where the matter moves perpendicular to the direction of energy
what is transverse
The wave that has the second highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum
What is an x-ray
The number of waves that pass through a point every second
frequency
the unit of measurement used for frequency
what is hertz
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force
what is Newton's First Law
A wave that does not need a medium to transfer energy
What is electromagnetic
The longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum
radio waves
the lowest point of a wave
what is trough
In sound waves, as frequency increases, so does this property
what is pitch
an object's resistance to a change in motion
what is inertia
What is longitudinal
the source of most visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum
what is the sun
the less crowded area of a longitudinal wave
what is rarefaction
In light waves, as frequency increases, so does this property
what is brightness
In physics, the properties of mass and distance will influence this action
what is gravity
what is a transverse wave
In small doses, this form of radiation can be used to treat cancer
the distance from the midpoint of a wave to the crest
what is amplitude
the unit of electrical resistance used in electricity
what is an ohm
the action that results in two objects touching each other
what is friction
