|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What is a wave? | A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from place to place
🗑
|
||||
| What is a medium? | A medium is the object through which a wave travels
🗑
|
||||
| How do waves transfer energy? | When a wave travels under a floating object, the object moves up and down but doesn't travel with the wave
🗑
|
||||
| What causes waves? | Waves are caused when a source of energy causes a medium to move
🗑
|
||||
| What two types of waves there are? | Transverse waves and longitudinal waves
🗑
|
||||
| Transverse waves | Transverse waves are waves that move the medium to the direction in which the waves travel
🗑
|
||||
| Longitudinal waves | Longitudinal waves are waves that move the medium parallel to the direction the wave travels
🗑
|
||||
| What is amplitude? | Amplitude is the maximum distance the wave travels
🗑
|
||||
| Amplitude of transverse waves | Is the maximum distance the medium moves up and down from its resting position
🗑
|
||||
| Amplitude of longitudinal waves | Is the maximum measure of how reversed the wave becomes
🗑
|
||||
| What is wavelength? | Wavelength is the maximum distance the wave travels before it repeats
🗑
|
||||
| What is frequency? | Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass the given point in a certain amount of time
🗑
|
||||
| What is speed? | Wavelength*Frequency
🗑
|
||||
| What is Frequency? | Speed/Wavelength
🗑
|
||||
| What is wavelength? | Speed/Frequency
🗑
|
||||
| What is Reflection? | Reflection is the interaction with the surface
🗑
|
||||
| What is Refraction? | Refraction is the bending of waves due to change of speed
🗑
|
||||
| What is Diffraction? | Diffraction is when a wave moves around a barrier or an opening barrier
🗑
|
||||
| What is Interference? | Interference is the interaction of waves that meet
🗑
|
||||
| What 2 types of interference waves are there? | Constructive wave and Destructive wave
🗑
|
||||
| What is a constructive wave? | Constructive waves are waves with a larger amplitude
🗑
|
||||
| What is a destructive wave? | Destructive waves are waves with smaller amplitude
🗑
|
||||
| What are Standing waves? | Standing waves are waves that appear to be standing in one place
🗑
|
||||
| What is Resonance? | Resonance is an increase in amplitude of a vibration
🗑
|
||||
| What are seismic waves? | Seismic waves are waves caused by earthquakes
🗑
|
||||
| What 2 types of seismic waves are there? | P waves and S waves
🗑
|
||||
| What are P waves? | P waves are longitudinal seismic waves
🗑
|
||||
| What are S waves? | S waves are transverse seismic waves
🗑
|
||||
| What are surface waves? | Surface waves are waves that are combined with longitudinal waves and transfers waves
🗑
|
||||
| How to detect a seismic wave | You use a seismograph. A seismograph records the ground
🗑
|
||||
| What carries waves | Waves travel by medium
🗑
|
||||
| Mechanical waves | Waves that require medium
🗑
|
||||
| Vibraton | A repeated back-forth or up-down motion
🗑
|
||||
| crest and trough | Crest the highest part of a transverse wave and trough the low part of the transverse wave
🗑

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.
