Science Waves Quiz

the separation of the coils in a longitudinal wave

• rarefaction

• refraction

• reflection

• absorption

can be propagated without the need for a natural medium

• transverse rarefactional wave

• mechanical wave

• electromagnetic wave

• electronic piezoelectric wave

the number of times that a wave passes a reference point

• wave frequency

• wave amplitude

• wave length

• wave velocity

a change in wave direction

• refraction

• absorption

• reflection

• diffraction

requires a natural medium for propagation

• mechanical wave

• longitudinal wave

• radiowave

• microwave

related to air compressions that collide with the eardrum and make it vibrate

• pitch

• frequency

• period

• intensity

the closing of the coils in a longitudinal wave

• reflection

• rejection

• compression

• absorption

determined by measuring the distance the wave travels from one point to another in one second

• wave speed

• period

• frequency

• average speed

a sound that is repeated because waves are reflected

• echo

• refraction

• decibel

• vibration

determined by wave frequency

• contractility

• tone
