Question
Answer
Wave   Disturbance that transfers energy from place to place  
🗑
Energy   The ability to do work  
🗑
Medium   Material through which a wave travels  
🗑
Mechanical Wave   Need a medium through which to travel  
🗑
Vibration   Repeated back and forth, or up and down motion  
🗑
Transverse Wave   Move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels  
🗑
Crest   High point of a transverse wave  
🗑
Trough   Low part of a transverse wave  
🗑
Longitude Wave   move the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves travel  
🗑
Compression   Parts where the coils are close together  
🗑
Rarefaction   Parts where the coils are spread out  
🗑
Amplitude   the maximum distance that the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest position  
🗑
Wavelength   The distance between two corresponding parts pf a wave  
🗑
Frequency   The number of complete waves that pass a certain point in a certain amount of time  
🗑
Hertz (Hz)   Units frequency is measured in  
🗑
Reflection   Interaction with a surface  
🗑
Law of Reflection   States that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection  
🗑
Refraction   Bending of waves due to a change in speed  
🗑
Diffraction   When a wave moves around a barrier or through an opening in a barrier, it bends and spreads out  
🗑
Interference   The interactions that between waves that meet  
🗑
Constructive Interference   The interference that occurs when waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude  
🗑
Destructive Interference   The interference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with smaller amplitude  
🗑
Standing Wave   A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it's really two waves interfering as they pass each other  
🗑
Node    
🗑
Anti-node    
🗑
Resonance    
🗑
Seismic Wave    
🗑
P Wave    
🗑
S Wave    
🗑
Surface Wave    
🗑
Tsunami    
🗑
Seismograph    
🗑


   

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.
