God sealed his covenant with this person with a rainbow.

Noah

100

Mechanical waves must have this to travel through

What is a medium

100

The high point of a transverse wave is a ___________

What is a crest?

100

What is the formula for calculating wave speed?

100
Electromagnetic waves have electric and magnetic fields that move ___________________ to each other and the direction of the wave.

What is perpendicular?

200

What was Jesus doing when waves were breaking over the boat, frightening his disciples.  

What is sleeping?
200

_________________ are mechanical waves whose particles and wave direction move perpendicular to each other.

What is transverse?

200

The regions of a longitudinal wave where particles are under higher pressure (more densely packed)

What is a compression?

200

What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of .2 meters and a frequency of 30 Hz?

6 m/s

200

What are the longest wavelength and lowest frequency waves?

What are radio waves?

300

Who said, "you hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me"?

Who is Jonah?

300

_____________________ are mechanical waves whose particles and waves move parallel to each other

What are Longitudinal

300

The low point in a transverse wave is called a ___________.

What is a trough?

300

What is the speed of a red wave that is 0.00000065m that has a frequency of 461,538,461,540,000 Hz?

300,000,000 m/s

300

The shortest wavelength and highest frequency waves

What are gamma rays?

400

Who wrote this in Psalm 42 when he felt like God had left him?  Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.

Who is David?

400

Sound waves are this kind of mechanical wave

What is longitudinal?

400

The regions of a longitudinal wave where particles are under lower pressure (less densely packed)

What are rarefactions?

400

The human ear can perceive sounds in a range between 20-20,000Hz.  If a retired Spirit Airlines passenger plane is celebrating with a burnout, traveling at a speed of 345 m/s and the distance between 2 compressions of the wave is 1.5 meters, would an observer hear the plane break the sound barrier?  Why or why not?

Yes, the frequency of 230 Hz 

400

Which electromagnetic wavelength can be separated into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet

Visible 

500

Which New Testament writer wrote this: "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind?"

Who is James?

500

If you are in space and a rocket passes by, what would you hear?  Why?

Nothing - there are no particles between the rocket and your ear to transmit the energy.

500

The difference in the particle density between compressions and rarefactions of a longitudinal wave determine this about the wave.

The amplitude (energy it carries)

500

If an electromagnetic wave is traveling through space at approximately 300,000,000 m/s and its frequency is 10,000,000 Hz, what is the most likely identity of the radiation?

Radio waves

500

An astronaut wants to use a microwave gun to heat a hot pocket in space.  Explain why he can or cannot do this.

He can - microwaves are electromagnetic waves which can travel through space
