Unit 3 - Waves BEMS
Test Description: Vocab for unit 3
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Any oscillation that moves energy from one point to another.
A
Wavelength
B
Amplitude
C
Crest
D
Wave
2) The height of a transverse wave, or the difference in pressure between the compression and rest in a longitudinal wave
A
Crest
B
Wavelength
C
Wave
D
Amplitude
3) The distance between two crests in a wave. The larger this is, the lower the frequency, i.e. more red light, lower pitch sound.
A
Crest
B
Amplitude
C
Wavelength
D
Wave
4) The highest point on a wave
A
Crest
B
Wavelength
C
Wave
D
Amplitude
5) The lowest point on a wave
A
Longitudinal Wave
B
Frequency
C
Trough
D
Transverse Wave
6) Pressure waves that move back and forth in line with energy transfer, such as sound
A
Frequency
B
Transverse Wave
C
Trough
D
Longitudinal Wave
7) Side to side waves, such as light
A
Transverse Wave
B
Trough
C
Frequency
D
Longitudinal Wave
8) The number of oscillations or cycles per second. More of this is bluer light, higher pitch.
A
Longitudinal Wave
B
Frequency
C
Transverse Wave
D
Trough
9) Transvers waves that are caused by energy switching back and forth between electricity and magnetism.
A
Light Wave
B
Oscillation
C
Sound Wave
D
Pressure
10) Longitudinal waves caused by pressure moving atom to and fro, inline with the motion of the energy.
A
Oscillation
B
Light Wave
C
Pressure
D
Sound Wave
11) How much atoms are being pushed together
A

A
Transmission
B
Thermal Energy
C
Reflection
D
