Unit 4 Waves

The two waves overlap. Where will the the new constructed wave be on the y-axis at the x=8 ?

• 0

• 2

• 4

• -2

• -4

The particles in this type of wave move up and down (90 degree angles) in their positions as the wave passes by

• Longitudinal
• Transverse
• Seismic
• Water

The particles in these type of waves are created when wind blows over it.

• Longitudinal waves
• sound wave
• Seismic waves
• Water waves

The bottom of a transverse wave is called the – 

• Crest
• Trough
• Rest Period
• Amplitude

The number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second is called 

• Amplitude
• Frequency
• Crest
• Rarefaction

Doing "the wave" in the stands at a football game is which type of wave?

• Longitudinal
• Transverse
• Seismic
• Water

The substance or matter the wave travels through (solid, liquid, gas)

• Seismic
• Medium
• Trough
• Crest

The bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to another. 

• Reflection
• Rarefaction
• Refraction
• velocity

When an object causes a wave to change directions and bend around it it’s called

• Deconstructive intereference
• Diffraction
• Constructive interference
• Refraction

The diagram represents what kind of wave

• Transverse Wave
• Longitudinal Wave
