SCIANCE IS good

SCIANCE

questionanswer
A wave travels faster in a more _______ medium elastic
A wave travels slower in a more ______ medium dense
The bouncing back of a wave from a boundary that does not absorb all of its energy reflection
The bending of waves due to a change in speed. refraction
the bending of waves around an obstacle diffraction
when the crest of one wave meets the crest of another wave, the amplitude of the single wave produced is equal to the sum of the two original amplitudes Constructive inerference
When the crest of one wave meets the trough of another wave, the amplitudes are subtracted and a smaller disturbance is produced destructive interference
A wave that does not appear to be moving Standing wave
A ___ is a traveling disturbance that carries energy from one place to another wave
A ___ is a repeated disturbance that creates waves vibration
A ___ is a substance through which waves can travel. All phases of matter ( solid, liquid, gas ) can act as a medium medium
Waves that require a medium are ___ waves mechanical
the greatest movement from the resting position. Also known as height. Measures how much energy a wave has amplitude
the distance from crest - to - crest or trough - to - trough wave length
the number of complete wave cycles that pass a certain point per unit time frequency
a wave in which the motion of the medium is at a right angle to the motion of the wave transverse wave
the motion of the medium is in the same direction as the motion of the wave. An example is sound waves longitudinal wave

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
