Mechanical Wave Quiz Review

This type of wave occurs when the wave motion moves parallel to the material.

• Transverse Wave
• Longitudinal Wave
• Surface Wave
• Tidal Wave

This type of wave occurs when wave motion moves perpendicular to the material.

• Transverse Wave
• Longitudinal Wave
• Surface Wave
• Tidal Wave

This type of wave has both a transverse and longitudinal wave and it separates the two different media the waves travel through

• Transverse Wave
• Longitudinal Wave
• Surface Wave
• Tidal Wave

This is the distance from crest to crest

• amplitude
• frequency
• period
• wavelength

This is the energy that causes a vibration to move through a medium

• electromagnetic radiation
• wave
• frequency
• amplitude

This is the distance from the rest position to the crest

• amplitude
• frequency
• wavelength
• period

This is the position where the material is not disturbed

• crest
• trough
• rest position
• medium

This is the number of wave cycles that happens in a matter of one second

• wavelength
• amplitude
• period
• frequency

This is another word for the material that waves move through

• crest
• trough
• amplitude
• medium

This is an example of which type of wave behavior?

• Reflection
• Refraction
• Diffraction
• Interference
