Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

What is this an example of?
Refraction
How does the moon shine at night when there is no light?
The sunlight reflects off of the moon.
If the frequency of a wave decreases, what will the energy do?
The energy will decrease.
How is energy transferred from a wave?
The vibrations of particles in the medium
What do waves transfer or give off?
Energy
When a wavelength decreases, what happens to the frequency?
The frequency will increase.
What is an example of a mechanical wave?
light waves, sound waves, and ocean waves
How would you measure a wavelength?
measure the distance between the same point on 2 waves
What is constructive interference?
when 2 wave crests or roughs overlap. Results in a larger amplitude and has more energy.
What is destructive interference?
When the crest of one wave and the trough of another overlap. They cancel each other out
What are the 2 different types of Wave Interference?
Constructive and destructive
What is wave interference?
When 2 or more waves overlap.
What is wave Diffraction?
The bending of waves around a barrier
What is wave refraction?
The bending of a wave when it passes through a medium
What is reflection?
When a wave bounces back after hitting a barrier. ex. light off of snow
What are the 4 types of wave interaction?
1. Reflection, 2. Refraction, 3.Diffraction, 4. Interference
What is the frequency?
The number of waves produced in a given time.
What is the wavelength of a wave?
The distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs
What is the amplitude of a wave?
It is the wave height, measured from the resting position to either the trough or the crest.
What kind of waves need a medium to travel through?
A mechanical wave
What are examples of a medium?
liquid, solid, or gas
Where is the trough of a wave?
The lowest point of the wave
Where is the crest of a wave located?
The very top of the wave. The highest point.
When a wave moves, does the material travel? ex leaf in water
no. The material does not move, the water does.
What is a wave?
any disturbance that transits energy thought matter or empty space
