---|---|---|---|---|---|
Wavelength | the distance between two consecutive identical points on a wave
🗑
|
||||
Frequency | the number of complete waves (or cycles) per unit of time
🗑
|
||||
Amplitude | the maximum movement from rest (measured from rest to a crest OR a trough)
🗑
|
||||
Crest | the highest point of a wave (analogous to compression)
🗑
|
||||
Trough | the lowest point of a wave (analogous to rarefaction)
🗑
|
||||
Transverse Wave | a wave in which the motion of the medium is at right angles to he direction of the wave (EM waves)
🗑
|
||||
Longitudinal Wave | a wave in which the motion of the medium is parallel to the
direction of the wave (sound)
🗑
|
||||
Wave | a traveling disturbance that carries energy from one place to another
🗑
|
||||
Vibration | Any movement that follows the same path repeatedly
🗑
|
||||
Medium | the matter or substance through which a wave is transmitted
🗑
|
||||
Wave Speed | how fast waves move (_________ = frequency x wavelength)
🗑
|
||||
Wave Interactions | when two or more waves meet and affect each other
🗑
|
||||
Reflection | waves bounce off of surfaces
🗑
|
||||
Refraction | waves change directions (bend) when they pass from one medium to another of differing densities
🗑
|
||||
Diffraction | waves change directions (bend) when they pass through an opening or around a barrier
🗑
|
||||
Constructive Interference | two or more waves meet and add together to make a
larger wave
🗑
|
||||
Destructive Interference | two or more waves meet and add together to make a
smaller 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.
