NGSS.MS-PS4-1

Match the following

• crest

• the place where constructive interference

  causes the largest wave

• antinode

• the highest point of a transverse wave

• compression

• a section in a longitudinal wave where the

  particles are tightly packed together

• amplitude

• the maximum distance a wave vibrates from

  its rest position

• diffraction

• the bending of a wave around a barrier

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

Match the following

• node

• the effect produced by the combination of two

  or more waves

• longitudinal wave

• any substance through which a wave can

  travel

• frequency

• a wave in which the movement of the medium’s

  particles is parallel to the direction of the

  wave’s movement

• medium

• the number of complete waves that pass a

  particular point in a unit of time

• interference

• the point where destructive interference causes

  no displacement

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

Waves that travel through liquid media are both transverse and longitudinal.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

Waves can travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous mediums.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

Waves transfer matter, not energy.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

NGSS.HS-PS4-3

A wave’s speed depends on the density and compressibility of the medium through which it travels.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

The longer the wavelength, the greater the energy of the wave.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

The wave speed is affected by the medium through which the wave moves.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

As a wave’s energy increases, the amplitude of the wave increases.

• True

• False
