|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compressional Wave | Mechine made that causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the direction the wave travels
🗑

||||
| Diffraction | Bending of waves around an object
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnetic Spectrum | Complete range of electromagnetic wave frequencies and wavelength
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnetic Wave | Waves that can travel through matter or empty space includes radio waves infrared wave X rays and gamma rays
🗑
|
||||
| Frequency | Number of wavelengths that pass a given point in one second measured in hertz
🗑
|
||||
| Infrared Waves | Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between about one thousandth of meter and 700 billionths of a meter
🗑
|
||||
| Intensity | Amount of energy a wave carries past a certain area each second
🗑
|
||||
| Law of Reflection | States that the angel the incoming wave makes with the normal to the reflecting surface equals the angle the reflected wave makes with the surface
🗑
|
||||
| Pitch | Humans perception of the frequency of sound
🗑
|
||||
| Refraction | Change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material into another
🗑
|
||||
| Reverberation | Repeated echoes of sound waves
🗑
|
||||
| Transverse wave | a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y–z plane
🗑

| Ultraviolet Wave | light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 400 nm to 10 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.
🗑
|
||||
| Wave | a long body of water curling into an arched form and breaking on the shore.
🗑
|
||||
| Wavelength | the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic 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.
