Wave map assignment
by Henry Fioriglio
1. Diffraction-process a wave is spread
2. Refraction-change in direction of a wave length
3. Reflection-throwing back light heat or sound but not absorbing it
4. Wave-disturbance that transmits energy
5. Medium-substance through which a wave passes
5.1. Vibration-a repetitive back and forth motion
6. Transverse-longer more melodic waves
7. Surface-slower larger amplitude
8. Pulse-a single vibration or short burst of waves
9. Sound-vibration that travels through the air
10. Oceans-a huge body of water
11. Energy transfer-conversion of one form of energy to another
12. Rest position-undisturbed position of particles or fields when they are not vibrating
13. Displacement-distance between the equilibrium and a particle of the wave
14. Trough-low point of the wave
15. Time period-time it takes to complete a full cycle
16. Wavelength and energy relationships-frequencyXwavelength=wave speed
17. Interference-2 waves super pose and make a bigger wave
18. Transparent-see through
19. Translucent-lets some light through
20. Pitch-hear 20-17,000 hertz
21. Opaque-lets no light through
22. Hertz-SI unit of frequency
23. Mechanical wave-transfers energy though a medium
24. Longitudinal wave-a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
25. Electromagnetic waves-dont require a medium can travel through and vacuum
26. Periodic-intervals
27. Seismic-enormous proportions
28. Perpendicular disturbance-particles stay and do not move with the wave
29. Light-natural agent that stimulates sight
30. Speed of light-299,792,458 m/s
31. Propagation-widely spreading
32. Amplitude-maximum amount of displacement
33. Peak-top of the wave
34. Wavelength-distance between peak and trough
35. Frequency-occurrence of a wave
36. Loudness-determined by tun and intensity and amount of energy
37. Crest-point with max upward displacement
