Unit Waves

Waves transfer

• Matter

• energy

• particles

• water

As wavelength increases, frequency

• decreases

• remains the same

• increases

Refraction occurs when a wave enters a new medium at an angle because

• the frequency changes

• the amplitude

• the wave speed changes

• none of the choices

Light waves travel fastest in

• air

• glass

• a vacuum

• water

Waves that do NOT require a medium are

• longitudinal waves

• electromagnetic waves

• surface waves

• mechanical waves

When you place a pencil in a glass of water, the pencil appears bent because of

• reflection

• diffraction

• refraction

• absorption

What part is represented by the blue lines?

• Crest
• Resting Point
• Wavelength
• Amplitude

What property of the wave is represented by the letter "A"?

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength
