Name that Wave
What part is that?
Hands off my property
You do the math
this and that
100
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
100
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
100
Distance traveled per unit of time.
What is speed?
100
The wavelength of a sound wave moving at 340 m/s with a frequency of 256 Hz.
What is 1.32 m?
100
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
200
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
200
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
200
Pairs of a maximum value and a corresponding minimum value.

200
The wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 500 Hz and a speed of 200 m/s.
What is 0.4m?
200
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
300
The motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
300
The horizontal line along which the wave runs.
What is the rest position?
300

500
True or false? Different waves travel at the same speed.
What is false?
500
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
