Waves

Disturbances that transfer energy from one point to another are called

• bolts
• mediums
• thunder
• waves

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

The high point of a transverse wave

• cap
• crest
• top
• trough

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

As wavelength increases, its

• frequency decreases
• frequency stays the same
• frequency increases
• volume increases

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

The distance between waves is the

• frequency
• amplitude
• wavelength
• pitch

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

This type of wave needs to travel through a medium and cannot move through space

• transverse
• longitudinal
• electromagnetic
• all of the above

The amplitude of a wave is related to its

• mass
• speed
• volume
• height

The number of waves in a period of time is a wave's 

• frequency
• speed
• amplitude
• wavelength

When rays of light hit a smooth surface and bounce back at the same angle, this is called

• refraction
• reflection
• opaque
• transparent

Light is bent as it passes from the air into the lens of eyeglasses.  This bending is called

• reflection
• refraction
• interference
• shifting

The lowest point on a wave the speed of the wave differs

• frequency 
• trough
• crest
• reflection
