Waves Jeopardy

List 3 examples of a longitudinal wave.

Sound waves Water waves Seismic waves

This tells you that waves have occurred at the beach.

Ripples are left in the sand you see under the water.

This is what kind of wave?

A Longitudinal Wave

The arrow is pointing to what part of a transverse wave?

Line of origin Line of equilibrium Line of rest

This type of wave DOES NOT need a medium to travel.

A light wave.

The scientific reason water sprays out of a pan when a tuning fork is placed into it.

Energy is transferred from the fork to the water. The rapid vibrations from the fork quickly push the water out.

What number represents the crest?

#6

A light wave’s ability to travel through space allows us to see this.

The Sun.

What number represents the wavelength?

#8

This becomes shorter as a water wave gets closer to the shore.

The wave’s wavelength.

This type of medium allows a sound wave to travel the fastest.

A solid. (steel, stone, table, etc. )

This type of seismic wave is also a transverse wave.

S-waves (Secondary Waves)

What number represents the amplitude?

#7

A rarefaction can be described as this.

A medium’s particles that are spread out (or in their original position).

S-waves can travel through this type of medium.

Solids only.

FINAL JEOPARDY!!

This occurs when seismic waves move out from the focus, as transverse and longitudinal waves, making the Earth’s surface twist and bend.

Buildings and other structures get destroyed.
