| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| this is the only things waves are said to transfer | energy |
| this is the unit used to describe the frequency of a wave | Hertz |
| this is the part of a longitudinal wave that is CROWDED TOGETHER | compression |
| this is the part of a longitudinal wave that is SPREAD APART | rarefaction |
| this is what a standing wave results from | interference |
| this is the GENERAL NAME given to all the types of waves that DO require a medium | mechanical |
| this is the GENERAL NAME given to all the types of waves that do NOT require a medium | electromagnetic |
| these are the types of waves which have the direction of energy moving PERPENDICULAR to the direction that the waves particles are moving | transverse |
| these are the types of waves which have the direction of energy moving PARALLEL to the direction that the waves particles are moving | longitudinal |
| this is the HIGH point of a transverse wave | crest |
| this is the LOW point of a transverse wave | trough |
| this term refers to the maximum distance a wave particle can vibrate away from the rest point | amplitude |
| this is the position of wave particles when not vibrating | rest point |
| this is what happens to light when it is REFRACTED | bends |
| this is the result of a reflected sound wave | echo |
| this is the term for any disturbance that sends energy through matter or empty space | wave |
| this is the term which describes the matter through which waves travel | medium |
| this is actually what the wavelength of a wave is related to | distance |
| this results when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave | constructive interference |
| this results when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave | destructive interference |
| this is the 'size' of wavelength that carries the MOST ENERGY | short |
| this is the type of frequency that creates standing waves | resonant |
| this is a piece of glass with polished sides at angles to each other | prism |
| certain parts of a wave are always in the rest position in this type of wave | standing |
| in order for the speed of a wave to remain constant, when its frequency is increased, this other thing must then DECREASE | wavelength |
| these are two specific examples of mechanical waves | seismic sound |
| these are two specific examples of Electromagnetic waves | micro light |
