Miscellaneous
100
I am a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without moving matter the entire way.
What is a WAVE?
100
I am the part of the ear that carries signals to the brain.
What are NERVES?
100
Sound moves in this type of wave.
What is a LONGITUDINAL WAVE?
100
I contain the colors of a rainbow.
What is VISIBLE LIGHT?
100
This is the bending of waves around an object.
What is a DIFFRACTION?
200
In this type of wave energy is transferred in the same direction as the disturbance.
What is a LONGITUDINAL WAVE?
200
I connect to nerve fibers that carry signals to the brain.
What is the INNER EAR?
200
Soft surfaces ________ sound waves.
What is ABSORB?
200
These are used to see your bones.
What is an X-RAY?
200
In this type of wave energy is transferred from one object to another using an up and down motion.
What is a TRANSVERSE WAVE?
300
This is the height or the distance a medium rises or falls from its resting point.
What is the AMPLITUDE?
300
This is a language of hand gestures which is used when a part of the ear does not function properly.
What is SIGN LANGUAGE?
300
Sound waves are made of vibrating chains of these.
What are MOLECULES?
300
I am used to pop popcorn.
What are MICROWAVES?
300
The angle that the incoming wave makes with the normal (still object) equals the angle that the outgoing wave makes with the normal (still object).
What is the LAW OF REFLECTION?
400
This is how many cycles occur in an amount of time, usually 1 second.
What is the FREQUENCY?
400
When parts of the ear do not function correctly the hearing is disabled. What is used when this happens?
What is sign language?
400
This is a high-pressure area of tightly packed molecules.
What is a COMPRESSION?
400
These are found in space space and other nuclear explosions.
What are GAMMA RAYS?
400
The reflection of sound waves off of a hard surface can create this.
What is an ECHO?
500
This refracts different wavelengths of light at different angles.
What is a PRISM?
500
I am vibrations in the air and travel away from the disturbance.
What is a SOUND WAVE?
500
A cycle of sound is created by a combination of this.
What is a combination of a RAREFACTION and a COMPRESSION?
500
These move from one energy level to the next, they emit electromagnetic radiation.
What are ELECTRONS?
500
The formula for wave speed is......
What is WAVESPEED = FREQUENCY times WAVELENGTH?
