Cards in this deck (16)
- 1a repeating movement or disturbance that transfer energy through matter or spacewave
- 2matter through which a wave travelsmedium
- 3waves that can only travel through mediumMechanical waves
- 4matter moves back and fourth at right angles to direction that waves travelTransverse waves
- 5matter in medium moves in the same direction that waves travelcompressional waves
- 6the angle of incidence of a wave is always equal to the angle of reflectionLaw of reflection
- 7Occurs when a wave strikes an object and bounces of it- all types of waves can be reflectedReflection
- 8bending of a wave caused by a change in its speed as it moves from one medium to anotherRefraction
- 9an object causes a wave to change direction and bend toward itDiffraction
- 10when two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new waveInterference
- 11compressional waves formed from vibrating objects colliding with air moleculesSound waves
- 12depends on the temperature and state of mediumSpeed of sound
- 13amount of energy that flows through a certain area in a given amount of timeIntensity
- 14made by vibrating electric charges and can travel through spaceElectromagnetic waves
- 15The entire range of electromagnetic wave frequenciesElectromagnetic spectrum
- 16true or falsehave you learn anything
