Name that Wave
It can't fix a car, but this does require a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.
What is amplitude?
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
Calculate the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 20hz and wavelength of 3500 m.
What is 70,000 m/s?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
The bending of waves as they enter a new medium at an angle.
What is refraction?
The frequency of a wave that travels at the speed of light that has a wavelength of 0.00000035m.
?What is 8.57 * 10^14 hz
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
What is a compression?
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
The bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening.
What is diffraction?
The index of refraction of a material that goes from an n value of 1 at 25 degrees and is at an angle of 12 degrees in the material.
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
What is a rarefaction?
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
The interaction between waves that meet.
What is interference?
The angle of light after it goes from an n value of 1.5 to 1.3 if the original angle was 36 degrees.
What is 43 degrees?
A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
What is an antinode?
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
The increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an object’s natural frequency.
What is resonance?
