Transverse

100

If the wavelength is 20m and the frequency is 5Hz, what is the velocity? 

100m/s

100

One end of the rope is vibrated to produce a wave with a wavelength of .25 m.  The Frequency of the wave is 3.0 Hz.  What is the speed of the wave?

.75 m/s

100

waves that cannot pass and bounce back

reflection

100

The highest point of a wave

crest

100

Which type of wave moves the particles parallel to the direction of the wave. 

Longitudinal

100
Transverse waves move __________________to the direction of energy transferred. 

Perpendicular

100

A wave has frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 10 m. What is the speed of the wave?

500 m/s

100

Waves that change speed and direction when they enter a new medium

refraction

100

The low point of a wave

Trough

100

How fast a wave travels is known as 

Wave speed or velocity. 

100

This type of wave moves the particles in the opposite direction from how the wave is moving. 


Transverse wave

100

A wave has frequency of 5 Hz and a speed of 25 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave?

5 m

100

waves that spreads out or bend though an opening or barrier

diffraction

100

The distance between two crests or two troughs. 

Wavelength

100

The matter that waves travel through is known as 

Medium 

100
In this type of wave the medium and the energy moves in the same direction.

constructive waves

100

Measures the height of the wave. 

Amplitude

100

A disturbance that carries energy is called

a wave!
