Question
Answer
this is the only things waves are said to transfer   energy  
🗑
this is the unit used to describe the frequency of a wave   Hertz  
🗑
this is the part of a longitudinal wave that is CROWDED TOGETHER   compression  
🗑
this is the part of a longitudinal wave that is SPREAD APART   rarefaction  
🗑
this is what a standing wave results from   interference  
🗑
this is the GENERAL NAME given to all the types of waves that DO require a medium   mechanical  
🗑
this is the GENERAL NAME given to all the types of waves that do NOT require a medium   electromagnetic  
🗑
these are the types of waves which have the direction of energy moving PERPENDICULAR to the direction that the waves particles are moving   transverse  
🗑
these are the types of waves which have the direction of energy moving PARALLEL to the direction that the waves particles are moving   longitudinal  
🗑
this is the HIGH point of a transverse wave   crest  
🗑
this is the LOW point of a transverse wave   trough  
🗑
this term refers to the maximum distance a wave particle can vibrate away from the rest point   amplitude  
🗑
this is the position of wave particles when not vibrating   rest point  
🗑
this is what happens to light when it is REFRACTED   bends  
🗑
this is the result of a reflected sound wave   echo  
🗑
this is the term for any disturbance that sends energy through matter or empty space   wave  
🗑
this is the term which describes the matter through which waves travel   medium  
🗑
this is actually what the wavelength of a wave is related to   distance  
🗑
this results when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave   constructive interference  
🗑
this results when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave   destructive interference  
🗑
this is the 'size' of wavelength that carries the MOST ENERGY   short  
🗑
this is the type of frequency that creates standing waves   resonant  
🗑
this is a piece of glass with polished sides at angles to each other   prism  
🗑
certain parts of a wave are always in the rest position in this type of wave   standing  
🗑
in order for the speed of a wave to remain constant, when its frequency is increased, this other thing must then DECREASE   wavelength  
🗑
these are two specific examples of mechanical waves   seismic sound  
🗑
these are two specific examples of Electromagnetic waves   micro light  
🗑


   

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.
