Waves Review

TYPE NAME: 1. Label the wave Use these parts: amplitude, wavelength, crest, trough, rest position wavelength amplitude rest position crest trough 2. Which type of wave is this? longitudinal (compression) transverse sound Use the image to answer the questions 3 and 4 3. Which wave has the highest FREQUENCY? A B C D 4. Which wave has the highest AMPLITUDE? A B C D 5. Increasing the wavelength will _ the frequency. increase do nothing to decrease Use the image to answer the questions. 6. Fill in the blank The electromagnetic spectrum is just a name for a range of radiation. radiowaves make up the biggest portion of the spectrum and have the longest wavelengthand lowest frequency .On the other hand, gamma rays have the shortestwavelength and highestfrequency.Visible lightis the portion of EM waves that we can see. 7. Label the parts of the wave Use: rarefaction, compression compression rarefaction What type of wave is above? longitudinal mechanical electromagnetic 9. Sort the wave topics Electromagnetic can go through a vacuum or matter visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared light and other EM waves ALWAYS transverse fastest in a vacuum Mechanical needs a medium sound waves can be transverse or longitudinal fastest in denser materials (generally solids) 10. Which form of EM radiation involves the heat of an object radio waves microwaves infrared visible light 11. What form of EM radiation do we need sunscreen and sunglasses for? x-ray UV gamma visible light 12. The black line is a mirror. How will the laser bounce? 13. What type of wave behavior is this? reflection refraction diffraction transmission 14. Speed of Sound Matching 343 m air 1484 m water 5120 m steel
