Question
Answer
What is required for a mechanical wave to move?   Matter  
🗑
What are the two types of mechanical waves?   Transverse and longitudinal  
🗑
What unit of measurement do we use for wavelength?   meters  
🗑
Hertz is the unit of measurement for which quantity?   Frequency  
🗑
An example which sound will travel than it will travel through water?   Cool Air  
🗑
What are the two types of interference?   Constructive and Destructive  
🗑
Which characteristic of the wave does interference effect?   Amplitude  
🗑
What is the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?   transverse wave goes perpendicular to the disturbance, a longitudinal wave goes parallel  
🗑
What is the term for a force that creates a wave?   Disturbance  
🗑
If two waves interact, and create a bigger wave, what happens?   Constructive Interference  
🗑
If I increase the frequency of a wave, what will happen to that waves amplitude?   It will stay the same  
🗑
Two waves come together, and create a space that looks like there are no waves. What has happened?   Destructive Interference  
🗑
What is the equation for speed?   : Speed= frequency times wavelength  
🗑
What happens to a wave when it experiences diffraction?   it spreads out.  
🗑
What happens to a wave during refraction?   It bends when entering another medium.  
🗑
What is the term for the wave behavior in which a wave bounces off an object?   Reflection  
🗑
Please give me an example of reflection in everyday life.   When light bounces off a mirror and it gets in your eyes.  
🗑
Please give me an example of refraction in everyday life.   When you put a straw in a glass of water and it gets bended  
🗑
What happens to the amplitude of a sound wave as it travels away from it sound’s source?   It decreases because the wave is spreading out.  
🗑
If the source of the sound is moving away from you quickly, how will you perceive it?   The pitch gets lower  
🗑
If the source of the sound is moving away from you quickly, its pitch will also decrease. What's that called?   The Doppler Effect  
🗑
As a wave travels through a medium, what happens to that medium?   A: It vibrates  
🗑
In Star Wars, what is so wrong with the pew-pew noise coming from the guns?   There’s nothing for the wave to travel through, so there can be no sound because space is a vacuum.  
🗑


   

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.
