Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about . Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave.
A seismic wave is an example of a mechanical wave.
Mechanical waves require a medium through which to travel.
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed through a vacuum: the speed of light.
Light and mechanical waves share basic wave properties in common, such as wavelength, amplitude, frequency, period, and wave speed.
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
Electromagnetic waves can transmit through a vacuum.
Light is the transfer of energy via electromagnetic waves.
The entire range of electromagnetic light is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
Electromagnetic waves travel at different speeds as they transmit through different types of matter.
A water wave is an example of a mechanical wave.
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another.
A wave on a rope is an example of a mechanical wave.
Some of the light observed from distant stars has been traveling for billions of years.
Electromagnetic radiation from the Sun includes visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
How does a wave show patterns? What are examples of waves that we can see? What are two examples of invisible waves?
After the Game
What are the properties (characteristics) of a wave? What is the difference between amplitude and frequency? What are three examples of mechanical waves that were included in the game? Why are the strings on a guitar different thicknesses? What affects the speed with which a wave travels?
