Question
Answer
Energy   The ability to do work.  
🗑
Potential Energy   The stored energy that an object has due to its position or chemical make-up.  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   The energy associated with an object in motion.  
🗑
Mechanical Energy   The sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work.  
🗑
Heat Energy   The energy of the internal motion of particles of matter.  
🗑
Chemical Energy   The energy stored in the bonds between atoms.  
🗑
Electromagnetic Energy   The energy associated with moving charges.  
🗑
Nuclear Energy   The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Energy Transfer   The moving of energy to from one place to another place or the passing of energy from one object to another object.  
🗑
Conduction   The transfer of heat energy through a substance or from one substance to another by direct contact of molecules.  
🗑
Convection   The transfer of heat energy through fluids (liquids and gases) by means of convection currents.  
🗑
Radiation   The transfer of heat energy by waves through space.  
🗑
Energy Conversion   The process of energy changing from one form to another.  
🗑
Wave   A traveling disturbance that transmits energy through matter and space.  
🗑
Vibration   The back and forth movement of particles in opposite directions that return to their original positions.  
🗑
Medium   The matter or substance that a wave travels through.  
🗑
Mechanical Wave   A wave that requires a medium (a solid, liquid, or gas) to travel.  
🗑
Electromagnetic Wave   A wave that can be transmitted through a vacuum. A vacuum is an empty space that is free of matter.  
🗑
Resting State   The position of the medium or field before it is disturbed by a wave passing through it.  
🗑
Crest   The peak, or high point of the wave.  
🗑
Trough   The low point of the wave.  
🗑
Amplitude   The distance between the resting state and the crest, or the resting state and trough and an indication of the amount of energy carried by the wave.  
🗑
Wavelength   The distance from one crest of a wave to the next crest of the wave and represented by the Greek letter Lambda (λ).  
🗑
Frequency   The number of complete wave cycles per second. The unit of measure for this wave property is the Hertz (Hz). 1 Hz = 1 wave per second.  
🗑
Transverse Wave   A type of mechanical wave in which the motion of the medium is at right angles to the direction of the wave.  
🗑
Longitudinal Wave   A type of mechanical wave in which the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave.  
🗑
Compression   The space in a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together.  
🗑
Rarefaction   The space in a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are spread out.  
🗑


   

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.
