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 the change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening
    diffraction
  2. is the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
    absorption
  3. a material in which a wave travels
    medium
  4. is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
    wavelength
  5. occurs when two waves of the same frequency and amplitude are moving in opposite directions and interfere with each other
    standing waves
  6. pertaining to building or putting parts together to make a whole
    constructive
  7. is the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
    amplitude
  8. 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
  9. measures the number of wave cycles (or frequency) passing through a given point in a second.
    hertz
  10. this occurs when crests overlap with crests and throughs overlap with throughs
    incident angle
  11. is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
    transverse wave
  12. is the passage of light through an object
    transmission
  13. is an imaginary line, perpendicular to a surface
    normal
  14. is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
    wave
  15. 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
  16. is the bouncing of a wave off a surface
    reflection
  17. when a wave overlaps another and creates a new wave with greater amplitude than either of the original wave
    constructive interference
  18. the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest apart
    rarefaction
  19. 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
  20. the regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
    compression
  21. is when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
    law of reflection
  22. is the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving from one medium to another
