Waves

Question 1

Waves

Answer 1

The transport of energy without the transport of matter.

Question 2

P waves / longitudinal waves

Answer 2

-Shakes the ground back and forth in the same direction and opposite direction-They move fast-Sound waves-need medium or materiel to pass through.

Question 3

S waves / transverse waves

Answer 3

-Secondary wave-moves slowly up and down.- Light waves

Question 4

Amplitude

Answer 4

-Measure the height of the wave from the crest (high point) or through (low point) of the midline
higher amplitude= high energy

Question 5

Wavelength

Answer 5

Measure the horizontal distance between cycles
Crest to crest
Shorter wavelength

Question 6

Frequency

Answer 6

Number of waves cycle that are completed in one second
Higher frequency= higher energy

Question 7

Electromagnetic Spectrum

Answer 7

Light waves with different energies, wavelengths, and frequencies.

Question 8

Visible Light Waves

Answer 8

-Light that humans can see
-Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet (ROY G BIV)

Question 9

Transmission

Answer 9

The passing of waves through or into a medium.

Question 10

Reflection

Answer 10

The bouncing back of a wave after it strikes a barrier or object.

Question 11

Absorption

Answer 11

The process of taking in or soaking up energy carried by a light wave.

Question 12

Refraction

Answer 12

The bending of a wave when it strikes a medium at an angle.
