Waves Transfer Energy

Question 1

substance through which wave moves

Answer 1

Medium

Question 2

A wave such as a sound wave seismic wave that transfers kinetic energy through matter

Answer 2

Mechanical waves

Question 3

A type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles or perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels

Answer 3

Transverse waves

Question 4

A type of wave in which the disturbance moves in the same direction that the wave travels

Answer 4

Longitudinal waves

Question 5

The highest point or peak of a wave

Answer 5

Crest

Question 6

The lowest point or valley of a wave

Answer 6

Trough

Question 7

The maximum distance that a distance that a disturbance cause a medium to move from its rest position;the distance between crest and trough of a wave and line through the center of a wave

Answer 7

Amplitude

Question 8

The distance from one wave peak or crest to the next peak or crest. Wavelength can be measured as the distance from any part of the next wave.

Answer 8

Wavelength

Question 9

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time, usually one second; the the number of cycles per unit time.

Answer 9

Frequency

Question 10

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

Answer 10

Reflection

Question 11

The bending of a wave as it crosses the boundary between two mediums at an angle other than 90 degrees

Answer 11

Refraction

Question 12

The spreading out of the waves as they pass through an opening or around and he edge of an obstacle.

Answer 12

Diffraction

Question 13

The meeting and combing of waves;the adding or subtracting of waves amplitudes that occurs as waves overlap.

Answer 13

Interference

Question 14

A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without requiring matter to move the entire distance

Answer 14

Waves
