Let’s Play Review Jeopardy!
Type of Waves Wave Properties Wave Interactions Vocab. $100 $200 $300 $400 $500 $400 $500
$100 Do not require a medium Light waves
$200 Move in circles Surface waves or water waves
$300 Form a sine curve Form a sine curve Transverse waves
$400 Consist of changing electric and magnetic fields in space Light waves or electromagnetic waves
$500 Consist of compressions & rarefactions Longitudinal waves
$100 How fast a wave moves Wave speed
$200 It is the number of wavelengths that pass a point in a given time interval Frequency
$300 The time required for one full wavelength of a wave to pass by a certain point Period
$400 Measures the distance between two equivalent parts of a wave Wavelength
$500 Measures the amount of particle vibration Amplitude
$100 Is the bouncing back of a wave when it meets a surface or boundary Reflection
$200 Is the bending of waves as they pass an edge Diffraction
$300 Is the bending of waves when they pass from one medium to another at an angle Refraction
$400 When the crest of one wave meets the trough of another wave resulting in a wave with a smaller amplitude Destructive interference
$500 When the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave resulting in a wave with a bigger amplitude Constructive interference
$100 A disturbance that carries energy through matter or space Wave
$200 Matter through which a wave travels Medium
$300 The ability to exert a force over a certain distance Energy
$400 In a standing wave, points that lie where the crests of the original waves meet the troughs of the reflected waves Nodes
$500 A vibration that fades out as energy is transferred from one object to another Damped harmonic motion

Waves Again The E.S. Wave Speed Misc. $100 $200 $300 $400 $500 $400 $500
$100 These are the specific waves produced by an earthquake Seismic waves
$200 Waves carry this Energy
$300 Another name for light waves Electromagnetic waves
$400 They carry enough energy to cause catastrophic damage Tsunami waves
$500 Interference of the original wave with the reflected wave causes the medium to vibrate in a stationary pattern that resembles a loop Standing wave
$100 Waves used to heat up food Microwaves
$200 Waves used to view internal structures X-rays
$300 Waves used in thermal imaging cameras and remote controls Infrared
$400 Waves used to sterilize medical equipment and give your skin a “toasty” color Ultraviolet
$500 Waves used to kill cancer cells and that are very, very, dangerous Gamma rays
$100 Formula for finding it Frequency times wavelength
$200 Wave speed depends on (2 answers) Temperature & the type of medium
$300 Waves travel fastest in this medium Solids
$400 Waves travel slowest in this medium Gasses
$500 This theory explains why waves have different speeds in different mediums Kinetic theory
$100 Is the apparent change in pitch as a sound passes by The Doppler Effect
$200 This is the inverse of the period Frequency
$300 Definition of a crest and a trough Crest is the highest point of a wave Trough is the lowest point of a wave
$400 The distance between two successive wave fronts shows this property of sound waves Wavelength
$500 Give the difference in particle motion for transverse and longitudinal waves Transverse = perpendicular Longitudinal = parallel
