  1. Introduction to Waves Lesson 2 Review Game Miss Friend

  2. What is the best description of a wave?

  3. A disturbance that transfers energy

  4. What unit measures the number of wavelengths per second?

  5. Hertz

  6. A wavelength is the distance from the crest of one wave to the ________ of the next wave.

  7. Crest

  8. What is the name of the lowest point of a wave?

  9. Trough

  10. Mechanical waves travel fastest through which medium?

  11. Solids

  12. What happens to the energy of a sound wave as it moves away from the source?

  13. It decreases

  14. How do you measure the frequency of waves?

  15. Count the number of wavelengths that pass a given point in a certain time.

  16. Which medium do mechanical waves travel slowest through?

  17. Gases

  18. Mechanical waves all have what characteristic?

  19. They generally travel faster through solids than liquids.

  20. Thunder will travel faster if the temperature of the air is _________.

  21. Warmer

  22. Which of the following do waves transfer?Matter Energy

  23. Energy

  24. How could you increase how far a sound wave would travel?

  25. Add Energy

  26. Jon uses the volume control on his TV to make the sound louder or softer. Which property of waves is Jon volume control changing?

  27. Amplitude

  28. During a thunderstorm, Kacy saw lightning and then heard thunder 5 seconds later. What would be different if the air had been warmer?

  29. He would have heard the thunder sooner.

  30. . The diagram below shows a wave pattern. One wave property that is shown is amplitude. Amplitude is the vertical distance from the rest position to either the crest or the trough of a wave. What is the rest position of the wave in the diagram?

  31. The point that is halfway between G and H

  32. Do sound waves travel through media of cold air or warm air more slowly?

  33. Cold air

  34. Amy arrived at a show fairly late. She was sitting very far from the stage. The voices sounded much fainter to Amy than it did to people closer to the stage. Explain the properties and behavior of waves that affected how Amy heard the voices.

  35. Mark worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. He watched how one of the buoys moved in the water.Which wave property describes why the buoy bobs up and down?Which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water?He observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. What effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? Explain your answer.
