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.

  1. is when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
    law of reflection
  2. occurs when two waves of the same frequency and amplitude are moving in opposite directions and interfere with each other
    standing waves
  3. is the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
    refraction
  4. the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
    rarefaction
  5. caused by the sudden movement of materials within the Earth, such as slip along a fault during an earthquake, volcanic eruptions, explosions, landslides, avalanches, and even rushing rivers
    seismic waves
  6. the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium (such as air, water or any other liquid or solid matter) as it propagates away from the source of the sound.
    sound waves
  7. pertaining to building or putting parts together to make a whole
    constructive
  8. is a wave that can travel only through matter
    mechanical wave
  9. is the bouncing of a wave off a surface
    reflection
  10. the highest points on a transverse wave
    crest
  11. also known as compressional waves; makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
    longitudinal wave
  12. is the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
    frequency
  13. measures the number of wave cycles (or frequency) passing through a given point in a second.
    hertz
  14. is the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
    amplitude
  15. is an imaginary line, perpendicular to a surface
    normal
  16. this occurs when crests overlap with crests and throughs overlap with throughs
    incident angle
  17. is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
    wave
  18. is the change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
    diffraction
  19. a material in which a wave travels
    medium
  20. the regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
    compression
  21. when a wave overlaps another and creates a new wave with greater amplitude than either of the original wave
    constructive interference
  22. is the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
    absorption
  23. 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
    destructive waves
  24. occurs when waves that overlap combine, forming a new wave
    interference
  25. a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock;This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake - or may occur slowly, in the form of creep.
    fault
  26. a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance

  28. is the passage of light through an object
    transmission
  29. is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
    wavelength

  31. the lowest points on a transverse wave
    trough
  32. is a wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
    electromagnetic wave
