Wave   A disturbance that moves through matter and space.  
🗑
Transverse Wave   Causes particles in matter to move back and forth at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels.  
🗑
Compressional Wave   Causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the wave travels.  
🗑
WaveLength   The distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point moving with the same speed and direction.  
🗑
Frequency   The number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second.  
🗑
Law of Reflection   The angle that the incoming wave makes with the normal equals the angle that the outgoing wave makes with normal.  
🗑
Refraction   The change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material to another.  
🗑
Diffraction   The bending of wave around an object.  
🗑
Nuclear Reactions   A change in the identity or characteristics of an atomic nucleus that results when it is bombarded with an energetic particle, as in fission, fusion, or radioactive decay.  
🗑
Light Energy   Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves.  
🗑
Sun`s Radiation   A solar radiation sensor measures solar energy from the sun.  
🗑
Energy Transfer   Energy transfer is the transfer of energy from one object or material to another.  
🗑
Vibration   An instance of vibrating.  
🗑
Water Wave   Water waves are surface waves, a mixture of longitudinal and transverse waves.  
🗑
Waves   A long body of water curling into an arched form and breaking on the shore.  
🗑
Energy   The strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.  
🗑
Seimic Wave   An elastic wave in the earth produced by an earthquake or other means.  
🗑
Matter/ Medium   Physical substance in general.  
🗑
Solid Wave   A wave that goes through solids.  
🗑
Pitch   The quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the degree of highness or lowness of a tone.  
🗑
Atmosphere   The envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.  
🗑
Troposphere   The lowest region of the atmosphere.  
🗑
Stratosphere   The layer of the earth's atmosphere above the troposphere.  
🗑
Mesosphere   The region of the earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere.  
🗑
Ionosphere   The layer of the earth's atmosphere that lies above the mesosphere.  
🗑
Thermosphere   The region of the atmosphere above the mesosphere.  
🗑
Exosphere   The outermost region of a planet's atmosphere.  
🗑
Air Mass   Large body of air with properties that resemble the part of earths surface over which it develops.  
🗑
Front   Boundary between 2 air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature.  
🗑
Tornado   Violently rotating column of air in contact with ground.  
🗑
Hurricane   Large, swirling, low pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic ocean.  
🗑
Blizzard   A severe snowstorm with high winds and low visibility.  
🗑
Cold Front   The boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.  
🗑
Warm Front   The boundary of an advancing mass of warm air, in particular the leading edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.  
🗑
Occluded Front   A composite front produced by occlusion.  
🗑
Stationary Front   A boundary between two different air masses, neither of which is strong enough to replace the other.  
🗑
   
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
