|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| compressional waves | mechanical wave that causes particles in matter to move back in forth along the direction the wave travels
🗑
|
||||
| diffraction | waves can change direction which is the bending of waves around an object.
🗑
|
||||
| electromagnetic spectrum | complete range of electromagnetic wave frequencies and wavelength
🗑
|
||||
| electromagnetic waves | waves that can travel through matter or empty space includes radio waves in fared waves visible light waves ultraviolet waves x rays and gamma rays
🗑
|
||||
| frequency | The frequency of a wave is the number of wave lengths that pass by a point each second.
🗑
|
||||
| infrared waves | electromagnetic waves with wavelength between about one thousandth of a meter and 700 billionths of a meter
🗑
|
||||
| intensity | amount of energy a wave carries past a certain area each second
🗑
|
||||
| law of reflection | According to law of fraction the angles that the incoming wave make the normal equals the angle that the outgoing wave makes with the normal.
🗑
|
||||
| pitch | as it relates to sound
🗑
|
||||
| refraction | Refraction is the change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material to another.
🗑
|
||||
| reverberation | repeats echoes of sound sound waves
🗑
|
||||
| transverse wave | A transverse wave causes particles in matter to move back and forth at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels.
🗑
|
||||
| ultraviolet wave | electromagnetic waves with wavelength between about 400 billionth and 10 billionths of a meter
🗑
|
||||
| wave | A wave is a disturbance that moves through matter or space.
🗑
|
||||
| wavelength | The distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point moving with the same speed and direction is the wavelength.
🗑

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.
