The ________________ point of the wave is called a crest.

The lowest point of the wave is called a ___________

The upper wave has more/less energy than the bottom wave, because the amplitude/wavelength/frequency of the upper wave is greater than that of the bottom wave.

Look at the image of the waveform. Approximately how many wavelengths are shown?

Wave speed, like all speeds, is measured in units of distance divided by time, such as __________________

The ________________ of a wave increases as the energy increases.

The relationship between amplitude and wave energy is that energy is ________________ to amplitude squared.

Daniel is conducting an experiment and needs to choose a material through which sound can travel. The material can be air, water, steel, or any other substance. In this context, what is this material called?

Kai is conducting an experiment in a laboratory. He creates a space that contains no particles of matter. This space is called a ___________________. According to science, a vacuum is not a medium.

James is conducting an experiment in his science class. He notices that certain types of waves cannot travel through a vacuum and require air, water, or another substance to move. The defining characteristic of ___________________ waves is the need for a medium.

Waves from a ________ in the water, a friend _________________, and _____________ waves moving through the ground are examples of mechanical waves. Select all that apply

Nora is listening to music in her room. The sound waves from the speaker are a type ___________________ mechanical wave and can travel through gases, liquids, and solids.

Olivia is conducting an experiment to see how sound travels through different materials. She notices that the speed of sound changes depending on the ______________ of the medium through which the waves travel.

This diagram represents a sound wave traveling from left to right. As the wave passes the location of the particle represented by the red dot, how does the particle move?

Which statements are true about the diagram of the ball in the water?

While at the beach, Peyton noticed that when she dropped a pebble into the water, ______________ waves spread out through the water over time, and they spread out in as many directions as they are able.

When Lily throws a pebble into a calm pond, ________________ waves on water spread out in a circle around the original disturbance.

When Mason claps his hands in an open field, ______________ waves in the air spread out as a sphere around the source of the sound.

When energy is absorbed by a medium, the medium ____________ energy, and the wave gains that energy.

When sunlight passes through a window and is absorbed by the glass, the glass gains energy, and the sunlight wave ___________ that energy.

Arin is listening to music in his room. Which statement best describes how the sound waves from the speakers reach his ears?

A wave is moving from a denser medium to a less dense medium, as shown in the diagram. What can you conclude about the behavior of the wave at the boundary? Select all that apply.

Acoustic panels (shown below) are primarily used in music studios to control which property of sound: absorption, reflection, or transmission?

The recording booth shown has a window through which sound may be transmitted. Which of the following window structures would transmit the least amount of sound?

When Sophia shouts across a canyon and hears her voice bounce back after hitting the opposite wall, this is an example of a (n)____________ that can occur when a mechanical wave contacts a new medium.

Benjamin is playing with a ball and throws it against a wall. When the ball bounces off the wall and comes back to him, this is similar to when a wave bounces off the boundary and travels back through the original medium. This is called a ________

Nora is at a swimming pool and notices that when she shouts towards a wall, some of her voice bounces back as an echo while some continues forward. In this situation, the original sound wave becomes two waves and the energy from the original wave is ____________ between the transmitted wave and the reflected wave.

When Benjamin notices that a straw appears bent when placed in a glass of water because the path of light waves bends due to a change in wave speed, ________________ occurs.

While swimming in a pool, Evelyn notices that when she looks at a stick partly submerged in water, it appears bent. The amount of __________________ depends on the angle at which the light wave encounters the water's surface and how much the speed of the wave changes.

Emma is conducting an experiment to observe how light travels through different materials. She uses a graph that shows the speed of light in a vacuum, water, glass, and diamond. Based on the information in the graph, which statements are supported? Select all that apply.

Kai places a shiny sphere in the garden, and he notices that he can see the flowers and trees reflected on its surface. What behavior of light is most clearly shown by the sphere?

Scarlett is looking at her garden in a shiny sphere placed on a stand. The image on the sphere appears curved because the sphere is a prism/ mirror (pick one).

When light strikes the surface of a curved glass, it either reflects off or refracts through (choose one) the surface, which can make the image look unusual.

Light can pass through a transparent object in a ________ line.

Aiden is conducting an experiment to see how fast light can travel through different materials. He discovers that light travels most quickly through ________________, where it travels at a speed of about 300,000,000 m/s.

While walking outside on a sunny day, Olivia notices the different types of light around her. The light that humans readily see is called__________ light.

While helping Emma set up her science project, you notice that the EM spectrum is composed of many types of________ waves, including __________ , radio waves, and ____________________.

Scarlett is learning about EM waves in her science class. She discovers that EM waves with shorter wavelengths carry more ____________.
