Mr. Sanders Trivia
100
This the material through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
100
This is the term for the maximum displacement of the medium from its rest position
What is Amplitude?
100
This is the relationship between the frequency vibrating source creating the wave and the frequency of the wave itself?
What is equal?
100
This term refers to when two or more waves overlap and combine together.
What is "interference?"
100
This is Mr. Sanders' first name
What is Logan?
200
These are the names for the three types of mechanical waves.
What are Transverse Waves, Longitudinal Waves, and Surface Waves
200
Swap
Swap points with any team
200
Plus 200 = )
You may give 200 points to any team (or split the points amongst multiple teams) as you see fit.
200
These two terms refer to when waves combine to produce a wave with either a larger a larger or a smaller displacement.
What are constructive interference and destructive interference?
200
The place that Mr. Sanders plans on teaching next year
What is Wamego High School?
300
These are the names for the highest point above the rest position and the lowest point below the rest position of a wave.
What are crests and troughs?
300
This unit of measurement is used to describe a wave's frequency, and it represents the number of cycles per second.
What are Hertz?
300
This causes a wave to have greater Energy
What is "greater amplitude"?
300
Swap
Choose a team to swap points with
300
Whirlwind
Everybody loses half of their points
400
Whirlwind
Everybody loses half of their points
400
This term refers to the is the number of complete cycles in a given time.
What is the frequency of a wave?
400
This is the wave speed if a wave has a wavelength of 21.5 meters and a period of 2.68 seconds
How fast is 8.02 m/s?
400
This is the amount a wave that undergoes complete constructive interference should grow by.
What is double?
400
This is the height (within 2 inches) that Mr. Sanders currently stands at.
How tall is 5'7
500
This is how a wave is created.
What is it when a source of energy causes a vibration to move through a medium?
500
This is the term for the time required for one cycle, a complete motion that returns to its starting point.
What is a period?
500
If a 6-foot-tall ant that weighs 4 kilograms does a backflip 20 times a second, this is the period for it to do 1 backflip
What is .05 Hz?
500
What is the resulting wave from this combination of waves?
What is a completely destructive wave, or zero
500
This is Mr. Sanders' hometown
