Waves - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

    trough
  3. is a wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
    electromagnetic wave
  4. also known as compressional waves; makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
    longitudinal wave
  5. is when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
    law of reflection
  6. is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
    wave
  7. the regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
    compression
  8. is the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
    refraction
  9. pertaining to building or putting parts together to make a whole
    constructive
  10. is an imaginary line, perpendicular to a surface
    normal
  11. is the bouncing of a wave off a surface
    reflection
  12. is the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
    absorption
  13. occurs when waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave
    interference
  14. occurs when a crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another and forms a new wave which has a smaller amplitude than the sum ofs the amplitudes of the original wave
