QuestionAnswer
a disturbance that transmits energy through matter or space wave
the matter through which a wave travels medium
a wave that requires a medium mechanical wave
a wave that is a disturbance in electric and megnetic fields, does NOT require a medium. Also called a light wave. electromagnetic wave
a wave that couses the particles of a medium to vibrate perpendicularly to the direction the wave travels transverse wave
a wave that causes the particles of the medium to vibrate parallel to the direction the wave travels. longitudinal wave
particles move in circles in fluids surface waves
the highest point of a transverse wave crest
the lowest point of a transverse wave trough
the maximum distance that a wave travels from its normal position amplitude
the distance between any two successive identical parts of a wave( distance between crests) wavelength
the number of vibrations that occur in a 1 second time interval, measured in Hertz. frequency
the apparent change in frequency of a wave when the source or the observer is moving. Doppler effect
the bouncing back of a wave as it meets a surface or boundary. reflection
the bending of a wave as it passes an edge or an opening. diffraction
the bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another refraction
the combination of two or more waves that exist in the same place at the same time. interference
when two waves combine and the resulting wave is larger than the originals constructive interference
when two waves combine and the resulting wave is less than the originals. destructive interference
a wave that interferes with itself and appears not to be moving along the medium. Nodes and antinodes are produced standing wave
region of a standing wave that appears to not vibrate node
region of a standing wave that has the most vibration antinodes

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.
