A Wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. Back to Menu
Transverse is like a rope. Longitudinal is like a slinky. Back to Menu
Explain how waves are created and give an example. What is a Medium?
Waves are created when a source causes a mediumto vibrate. A Mediumis material that a wave can travel through. Back to Menu
Define Compressionsand Rarefactions. Draw a picture to illustrate your definition.
Compression is when waves are pressed closely together. Rarefaction is where the waves are spread out. Back to Menu Final Jeopardy
Name two of the four basic properties (not wave parts) of waves.
They are Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequencyand Speed. Back to Menu
Draw and diagram a transverse wave. There are 3 primary parts that should be labeled.
Crestis the highest point, the Troughthe lowest. Wavelengthis the distance from one crest to the next. Wavelength Crest Back to Menu Trough
What is Frequency and what is its unit? Draw an example of two waves: one with high frequency, one with low.
Frequency, measured in Hertz(Hz) is the number of waves that pass in a certain amount of time. High Frequency Back to Menu Low
Amplitudeis the maximum distance the medium carrying a wave moves from its resting point. Back to Menu Final Jeopardy
When an object or wave hits a surface it cannot pass through and bounces back. Back to Menu
Diffraction and Reflection Diffraction Reflection Back to Menu
Show how Biff can hear Buff from around the corner. What is this called?
Diffraction: when a wave passes a barrier or opening, it bends and spreads out. Back to Menu
Refraction, which is the bending of waves when the go from one medium to another. Changes the speed of the wave. Back to Menu Final Jeopardy
Interference. Back to Menu
What are two kinds of Interference? Explain them. DAILY DOUBLE!
Constructive (amplifies the sound) and Destructive(smaller amplitude). Back to Menu
Resonance occurs when vibrations traveling through an object match the object’s natural frequency Back to Menu
Finish the equations: ? ? ?

What are two types natural disasters that create powerful waves (one leads to the other…)
An Earthquakecreates seismic waves. An underwater earthquake can trigger a Tsunami. Back to Menu
Retroreflection Back to Menu
What is sound? Explain, step by step, how we hear it. Use a tuning fork as an example.
Sound is created by Vibrations. When you strike the tuning fork, it vibrates. The fork hits nearby air molecules, giving them the energy from the fork. Those molecules hit other, which hit others… like dominos! Finally, it reaches your ear. Back to Menu
While walking down the street, you notice an ambulance approaching. How does the sound of the siren change, why, and what is this called?
Doppler Effect means the pitch is higher as the object approaches (sound waves pile up closer), and lower as it passes (waves spread out). Back to Menu Final Jeopardy

As a wavepasses from one mediumto another, it slows down. This causes it bend or refract. Reflection occurs when a wave cannot pass through an object. The more waves that pass a point in a given time, the higher the frequency, which is measured in Hz. Wave with the same wavelength can amplify one another, causing constructiveinterference.
