waves

Question 1

the transport of energy without the transport of matter

Answer 1

waves

Question 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

Answer 2

p wave

Question 3

Secondary wave
-moves slowly up and down
-light waves

Answer 3

s wave

Question 4

-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

Answer 4

amplitude

Question 5

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

Answer 5

wavelength

Question 6

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

Answer 6

frequency

Question 7

Light waves with different energies, wavelengths, and frequencies

Answer 7

electromagnetic spectrum

Answer 8

visible light waves

Question 9

The passing of waves through or into a medium

Answer 9

transmission

Question 10

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

Answer 10

reflection

Question 11

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

Answer 11

absorption

Question 12
