From the list of words above, choose the one that corresponds to the definitions below.
1. For a wave, the maximum displacement from the rest position of the medium to either the crest or trough. _________________________
2. Location on a transverse wave where the wave the amplitude is greatest. _________________________
3. The unit of measure for sound intensity, abbreviated dB. _________________________
4. The bending of a wave around a barrier or through a narrow slit. _________________________
5. A material (solid, liquid, gas, or a combination of these) through which a wave travels. _________________________
6. Occurs when a wave strikes an object and bounces off. _________________________
7. A tiny particle-like bundle of radiation. _________________________
8. Term that refers to how high or low sound frequencies of sound appear to be. _________________________
9. The bending of a wave caused by a change in speed as it travels from one medium into other. _________________________
10. Phenomenon that occurs when the frequency of forced vibrations on an object matches the object’s natural frequency producing a dramatic increase in amplitude. _________________________
11. The ability of two or more waves to combine and form a new wave. _________________________
12. A rhythmic disturbance that carries energy through matter or space. _________________________
13. The distance between identical points on two adjacent waves; for example, the distance between two crests or two troughs. ____________
14. A repeating to-and-fro motion about an equilibrium position. _____________________
15. A wave in which the medium is displaced perpendicular to the direction of wave itself. This wave is described by appearance of crests and troughs as in a water wave. _________________________
16. A wave in which the medium is displaced parallel to the direction of travel of the wave itself. This wave is described in appearance by its compressions and rarefactions. _________________________
17. The echoing effect produced by multiple reflections of sound. _________________
18. The time required for one complete wave (crest to crest) to pass a fixed point. _______________________
19. The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. ________________________
20. The natural condition of the medium before and after a wave travels through it. ______________________
21. A type of material that absorbs or reflects all light, and does not allow you to see through it. ______________________
22. A type of material that allows lights to pass through it, and you can clearly see through it. _____________________
23. A type of material that allows some light to pass through it, but you cannot see clearly through it. ______________________
24. A material that absorbs specific colors and reflects others. It is defined by the colors it reflects. _________________________
25. Transverse waves that do not require a medium, and transfers energy by radiation. _________________________
26. The unit of measure for frequency. _________________________
27. The amount of energy in each wave; for sound waves, measured in decibels. _________________________
28. The observed increase or decrease in wave frequency, caused by motion of the sound source or receiver relative to each other. _________________________
29. Longitudinal waves caused by vibration of object. It is what you "hear". _________________________
30. A multiple of the fundamental frequency of an object. _________________________
31. The frequency at which an object naturally vibrates. ______________________________
32. Common term for electromagnetic radiation. _________________________
33. Part of a longitudinal wave in which the particles are spread apart. _________________________
34. Part of a longitudinal wave in which the particles are close together. _________________________
35. A mirror/lens where the surface curves outward. ______________________________
36. A mirror/lens where the surface curves inward. ____________________________
37. A three-dimensional image produced by laser light. ____________________________
38. An image that appears to be behind the surface of a mirror. ______________________________
39. An image that can be projected onto a screen. _____________________________
40. The point where the optical axis intersects a curved mirror. _________________________
41. An imaginary line that passes through the center of a curved mirror. ______________________________
42. A piece of glass with a reflective coating on the front and/or the back. _____________________________
43. A piece of transparent material that has two distinct surfaces, at least one is usually curved. ____________________________
44. The point on the optical axis of a concave mirror or convex lens where light rays parallel to the optical axis come together. __________________
45. An imaginary line drawn perpendicular to a reflecting surface or medium that light is entering. _____________________
46. This is composed of all of the electromagnetic waves ____________________________
47. Angle between a reflected ray and the normal to a surface. ___________________________
48. Angle between the normal and the refracted ray after entering a different medium. _____________________________
49. The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a given material. _____________________________
50. A point on the optical axis which represents the radius of a full circle drawn with respect to the apex of a curved mirror. _____________________
51. Light with all waves vibrating in the same plane. _____________________________
52. Coherent light of only one frequency. Light Amplification through the Stimulation of Emitted Radiation __________________
53. The center of a lens. __________________________
54. An alternating loud-soft pattern heard due to the interference of sound waves of different frequency. _______________________
