Study Guide

QuestionAnswer
Sound waves carry what? energy
In order for Mechanical waves to transport energy they must have what to travel through medium
Waves in which the particles of medium move at right angles to the direction of the wave are what type of waves? Transverse
Waves caused by an earthquake are called? Seismic
The lowest point on a transvers wave is called? trough
A measurement from the crest of one wave to the crest of another is called? wavelength
If wavelength decreases frequency will? increase
A wave with a large amplitude will have a lot of? energy
The unit for frequency is? Hertz
The property of light that allows you to see yourself in a mirror is? reflection
When light passes from water into air how does light bend? away from the normal
When two sound waves are out of phase what happens to he amplitude and loudness decreases
A wave will travel as long as it has what to keep it going? energy
When you squeeze together the coils of a spring and then release them you create what type of wave? compressional
Water waves are what two types of waves combined? transverse and compressional
Seismic waves are what two types of waves? transverse and compressional
For wave A to have more energy than wave B what must be larger? amplitude
The energy a wave carries is measured by its? amplitude
If frequency doubles what happens to the wavelength? halves
When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another wave what takes place? destructive interference
The two types of mechanical waves are? transverse and compressional
When you shake a rope up and down what type of wave do you create transverse
What is the symbol for wavelength lambda

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.
