5. True or False: Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
6. True or False: Electromagnetic waves can travel through matter.
7. Give one example of a mechanical wave. Sound, heat waves, p-waves, s-waves,
ocean waves, seismic waves, baseball wave
8. Give one example of an electromagnetic wave- Microwaves, radiation, x-rays,
radio waves, uv rays, light
9. Waves carry (or transfer) _energy_ through a __medium______________.
10. _c_Wave Period
a. a wave in which the
medium moves up and down
while transferring energy
11. _d_Frequency
b. a wave in which the
medium moves back and

transferring energy
12. _e_wave speed
c. The time it takes one
complete cycle of a wave to
pass a given point.
13. _a_transverse wave

15. If a ball or other floating object were dropped out at sea into a series of waves
with energy traveling  what path would the ball follow? Draw a picture of the
path. The path should be a circle
