Question
Answer
A wave is a   distrubance that transfers energy from one place to another.  
🗑
Water that moves up and down traveling in a wave is known as a   disturbance which is transferring energy.  
🗑
Forces   can start disturbances that send waves through a materail. Examples: ropes, water and earthquakes.  
🗑
Mediums   substances which waves move through.  
🗑
Sound waves move through   air.  
🗑
Mechanical waves   move energy through matter  
🗑
Water, the ground, rope and air are all made up of   matter.  
🗑
Light is a wave that transfer energy   through empty space.  
🗑
Waves caused by an earthquake are good examples of   energy transfer  
🗑
Longitudinal waves travel   in the same direction as the disturbance.  
🗑
Transverse waves travel   perpendicular to the direction of the wave.  
🗑
Waves have   amplitude, wavelength and frequency.  
🗑
Crest   highest point of a wave  
🗑
Trough   lowest point of a wave  
🗑
amplitude   from the middle of the wave to the top or bottom of the wave  
🗑
wavelength   distance from one waves crest to the next waves crest  
🗑
frequency   the number of waves which pass a fixed point in a certain amount of time.  
🗑
As frequency decreases   wavelength increases.  
🗑
Speed=   wavelength times frequency  
🗑
Light waves travel 1,000,0000 times faster than   sound waves.  
🗑
Reflection   boucing back of waves  
🗑
Refraction   bending of wave as it enters a medium  
🗑
diffraction   spreading out of waves through an opening  
🗑
interference   meeting and combining of waves  
🗑
constructive interference is   the adding of 2 waves  
🗑
destruction interference is   the subtraction of energy.  
🗑


   

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.
