Waves and Wave Interactions (A)

X-rays can be described as

Sound waves can be described as

Incoming wave is known as the incident wave and out going wave is called the reflective wave.

Mechanical waves travel through _________.

A disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space.

Visible light waves can be described as

When a part of a wave bends around a corner and the corner drags on the wave causing it to slow down and turn.

What type of electromagnetic wave is used to cook food?

Which type of wave has the shortest wave length?

The distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of another is known as the ______________.

The wave below shows a transverse wave.

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time is called the waves ___________.

The electromagnet wave has all the following parts except _______________.

ROY G BIV

Invisible to humans, yet can be seen by insects, small rodents, and some birds.  causes skin cancer and sunburn.

What type of wave behavior is show below?

Which of the following letters represents the amplitude?

Energy of wave dies out in soft material for sound.  For light it happens instead of being reflected back.

The distance from the midline to the crest or trough of a wave is called the ___________.

Known to affect cells and used to find cracks in bone.

Which of the following wave types travel through the soil and is measured by a seismograph?

Which of the following has the shortest wave length?

The part of the Electromagnetic spectrum humans can see.  Think rainbows.

Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light.

An electromagnetic wave is a transverse, perpendicular wave.

Which electromagnetic wave can cause sunburn?

The redirection or bending of a wave as it travels from one medium to another.

Red light waves are slower that violet light waves.

Part of electromagnetic spectrum that we are most exposed to. Invisible to humans, but we can feel its heat.

Which of the following letters represents the wavelength?

What type of electromagnetic waves are emitted by radio and TV stations to communicate with others.
