Winneconne Chapter 1 The Energy of Waves Test

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Waves transfer   Energy  
🗑
A Wave can make a leaf bob up and down on the water, but it cannot move the leaf toward the shore. This is because waves transfer only   Energy  
🗑
True or false: Refraction is a property of a wave.   True  
🗑
A section of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart is called a   Rarefraction  
🗑
What is the wavelength a measure of   The distance between points on two waves  
🗑
The equation (V= lambda x f) is called what?   Wave Equation  
🗑
The frequency of a wave is measured using which unit?   Hertz  
🗑
What happens to a wave when it is refracted?   The wave is bent  
🗑
Why do sound waves travel around corners better than light waves?   Sound waves bend  
🗑
When two or more waves share the same space at the same time, it is called   Interference  
🗑
When a wave curves or bends around a barrier what occurs   diffraction  
🗑
How are mechanical and electromagnetic waves different?   Mechanical waves require a medium, electromagnetic waves don't.  
🗑
What forms can a medium take?   Solid, liquid, and gas  
🗑
What happens to a sound wave if there are not particles to vibrate? Example: outter space   There would be no sound.  
🗑
An occurrence in which the crests of one wave overlap the crests of another wave or waves   Constructive interference  
🗑
The bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through   reflection  
🗑
The combination of two or more waves that results in a single wave   interference  
🗑
a occurrence in which the crests of one wave overlap the troughs of another wave   distructive interference  
🗑
a phenomenon that occurs when two objects naturally vibrate at the same frequency   resonance  
🗑
a pattern of vibration that simulates a wave that is standing still   standing wave  
🗑
a change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds an obstacle or an edge, such as an opening   diffraction  
🗑
the bending of a wave as the wave passes between two substances in which the speed of the wave differs   refraction  
🗑


   

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.
