Waves

Question 1

Waves

Answer 1

The transport of energy without the transport of matter

Question 2

P waves

Answer 2

• Shakes the ground back and forth in the same direction and opposite direction.
  -They move fast
  -sound waves
  -needs a medium or material to pass through

Question 3

Amplitude

Answer 3

-Measures the height of the wave from the crest (high point) or trough (low point) of the wave to the midline
*higher amplitude = higher energy

Question 4

Wavelength

Answer 4

Measures the horizontal distance between cycles
*Crest to crest
*shorter wavelength = higher energy

Question 5

Frequency

Answer 5

Number of wave cycles that are completed in one second
*higher frequency = higher energy

Question 6

Electromagnetic Spectrum

Answer 6

Light waves with different energies, wavelengths, and frequencies

Question 7

Visible Light Waves

Answer 7

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

Question 8

Transmission

Answer 8

The passing of waves through or into a medium

Question 9

Reflection

Answer 9

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