  2. Which type of mechanical wave looks like a rollercoaster and was demonstrated in the slinky lab? 200

  3. Transverse Wave 200

  4. Which type of wave does NOT need a medium to travel through? 400

  5. An Electromagnetic Wave 400

  6. Which type of wave measures its wavelength from crest to crest, trough to trough or normal to normal? 600

  7. Transverse Wave 600

  8. Sound is an example of THIS type of wave…. 800

  9. Longitudinal Wave 800

  10. Give an example of an electromagnetic wave and explain why. 1000

  11. Light because light doesn’t need a medium to travel through such as all electromagnetic waves. 1000

  12. The area of a longitudinal wave that is spread apart is known as its: 200

  13. Rarefaction 200

  14. The resting point of the transverse wave is known as its… 400

  15. Normal 400

  16. How often energy passes through is known as its… 600

  17. Frequency 600

  18. What is NOT carried along with the energy of the wave, but continues to move. 800

  19. The particles of the wave 800

  20. A wave that occurs at the boundary between two mediums is known as… 1000

  21. A surface wave 1000

  22. The speed of a wave is determined by measuring _________ x _______. 200

  23. Frequency , wavelength 200

  24. The measurement of a wave’s energy is called its: 400

  25. Amplitude 400

  26. The wavelength of a longitudinal wave can be measured two ways. Name them. 600

  27. Compression to compression.Rarefaction to rarefaction 600

  28. If the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength _______.If the frequency of a wave decreases, its wavelength ________. 800

  29. Decreases, Increases 800

  30. A wave has a wavelength of 6 m, and a speed of 480 mph. What is the frequency at which the wave travels? 1000

  31. 80 Hertz 1000

  32. The molecule arrangement in the box represents which type of matter? 200

  33. A gas 200

  34. Which state of matter is the most dense? 400

  35. A solid 400

  36. Which state of matter has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume? 600

  37. Gas 600

  38. Explain why the gas, Helium helps sounds waves move more quickly through its particles compared to Oxygen. 800

  39. Because Helium is lighter and therefore less dense, making it easier to travel through. Thus, the speed is faster. 800

  40. Explain the movement of a wave in relation to its source. 1000

  41. Outward, in all directions away from its source. 1000

  42. Name one way in which amplitude is measured in a transverse wave. 200

  43. From normal to crest or normal to trough 200

  44. How is frequency measured? 400

  45. Frequency = Speed/Wavelength 400

  46. What is the length of time it takes for one full wave to pass a given point? 600

  47. A period 600

  48. Measuring how compressed or rarefied the longitudinal wave is, measures its….. 800

  49. Amplitude 800

  50. What to the particles in a transverse way do versus the particles in a longitudinal wave? 1000
