|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wave | A disturbance that moves through matter or space.
🗑
|
||||
| Transverse Wave | Cause 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 is the wavelength
🗑
|
||||
| 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 out going wave makes with the normal.
🗑
|
||||
| Refraction | the change in direction of the wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material to another.
🗑
|
||||
| Diffraction | Bending of waves around an object.
🗑
|
||||
| Opaque | Materials allow no light through
🗑
|
||||
| Translucent | Allows some light through
🗑
|
||||
| Transparent | Materials allow nearly all light to pass through
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Absorb | Soak up light
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Loudness | As the amplitude energy increases the sound gets louder
🗑
|
||||
| Pitch | As the energy decreases softer
🗑

| Echo Location | To navigate
🗑
|
||||
| Echo | A reflected sound wave
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnetic spectrum | Complete range of electromagnetic wave frequencies and wavelengths
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnetic Wave | Waves that can travel through matter or empty space,Includes radio waves visible light waves
🗑
|
||||

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.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
