|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | is the ability to cause change.
🗑
|
||||
| Waves | are rhythmic disturbances carry energy without carrying matter.
🗑
|
||||
| Mechanical Waves | Travel as energy is transferred from particle to particle.
🗑
|
||||
| Medium | is the matter that carries energy.
🗑
|
||||
| A Transverse Wave | causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back and forth at right angles the direction that the wave travels.
🗑
|
||||
| A compressional wave | moves matter back and forth in the same direction that wave is moving.
🗑
|
||||
| Sound Waves are | Compressional Waves.
🗑
|
||||
| Seismic waves | are caused by vibrating in the ground.
🗑
|
||||
| There are 3 types of Seimic waves: | Primary(P)Waves, Secondary(S)Waves, and Surface(L) Waves.
🗑
|
||||
| Primary wave | Oscillates back and forth along the direction the wave travels.
🗑
|
||||
| Secondary Wave | Oscillates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
🗑
|
||||
| Surface Wave | Causes horizontal and sometimes vertical ground movement.
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnetic waves is | energy that can travel through space that has no matter.
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnetic Spectrum: | Radio Waves, miscro waves, infrarred, ROYGBIV, Ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma.
🗑
|
||||
| Amplitude | of a transverse wave is 1/2 the distance between a crest and a trough.
🗑
|
||||
| The larger the amplitude, | the more energy the wave will carry.
🗑
|
||||
| Wavelength is the distancde between crest and the next crest or trough to the next trough on a transverse wave and on a compressional wave | it is the distance between the center of a compression to the center of the next compression, or center on the rarefaction to the center of the next rarefaction.
🗑
|
||||
| Frequency is | the number of waves that pass a point in 1 second and is measured in wavelengths per second or Hertz (Hz)
🗑
|
||||
| Blue has a | short wavelength and red has a long wavelength.
🗑
|
||||
| Light | travels through theair at 300 million m/s(3x10^5 m/s) Sound travels through the air at 340 m/s.
🗑
|
||||
| Reflection occurs when | a wave bounces off a surface.
🗑
|
||||
| Refraction occurs when | waves are bent as they pass from one medium to another.
🗑
|
||||
| Diffraction | is the bending of waves around a barrier.
🗑
|
||||
| Violet | bends more than red.
🗑
|
||||
| Constructive interference | occurs when crests pverlap and combine with each other.
🗑
|
||||
| Destructive interference | occurs when a crest and a trough overlap and the amplitudes amount out or form a small crest.
🗑

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.
