Wave Functions

100

What is a wave crest

The peak area (the top) of a wave

200

What distinguishes frequency from wave speed?

The frequency is determined by the wave source. It is measured in Hertz and represents the quantity of waves produced each second. The wave speed, on the other hand, which is expressed in meters per second, indicates how quickly a wave travels through the medium.

300

The primary element that enables us to distinguish between longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

How a medium's particle motion affects a wave's direction. In this instance, longitudinal waves follow the wave's direction in a parallel way. Transverse waves move in a direction that is opposite to the wave's direction in a perpendicular way.

400

What is the name of the wave function that refers to how many waves pass a fixed location in a unit of time?

Frequency

500

What distinguishes surface waves from longitudinal and transverse waves?

Surface waves moves in a circular motion while Longitudinal and Transverse waves move in a perpendicular and parallel direction

Primary Definitions

100

What is a wave

A wave is an energetic disturbance in a specific medium that disperses unpredictably from one location to another.

200

What is a wavelength

the space between waves' crests, particularly between electromagnetic or sound wave points.

300

What is amplitude and frequency

Distance between the wave's resting position and its highest displacement is known as amplitude. Frequency is the quantity of waves that pass by a particular place each second. Period: the amount of time needed for a wave cycle to finish.

400

What is a oscilliscope

Graphical electronic text instrument used to detect waves

500

What type of measurement could be a rollercoaster

Velocity

Real Life Examples

100

If a Tsunami's wavelength is 100m then its frequency is?

Frequency is 3hz

200

If an earthquake's velocity is 20 m/s the speed would be

the speed is 20m/s

300

What is a toy/game that includes Harmonic motions and pendulum

lato lato

400

A state in which Longitudinal and Transverse waves are in equilibrium

Surface waves

500

What music instrument uses longitudinal waves

Drums is the correct instrument that uses longitudinal waves

Wave Quiz/Trivia

100

If a Wave was an echo what would be the edge of the echo

The last resting point

200

What is the difference between wave crest and wave trough

Wave crest is the highest point of the wave, Wave trough is the lowest point

300

What is a Mechanical wave

Mechanical waves are waves that need a medium for propagation.

400

If a Tsunami was a sword what would be the highest point of the tsunami

The crest

500

What kind of wave is an ocean wave

Surface waves since it travels along the surface of the earth
