Give one example of water waves traferring to sound waves.
When waves on the beach make sound.
100
Water waves are always caused by this.
What is a disturbance.
100
Earthquakes cause these types of waves.
What is seismic?
200
The speed of a wave.
What is frequency
200
Sound waves are ____________________ waves because they need _____________ to travel through.
What is mechanical, matter (or medium)
200
Give one example of a sound wave being tranferred to a water wave.
A tuning fork in water.
200
Water waves are __________________ waves.
What is mechanical
200
One similarity between water waves and seismic waves.
They are both mechanical, they travel outwards in all directions.
300
Draw a wave and label the wavelength
300
This occurs when a sound is reflected.
What is an echo.
300
In all waves ________________ is transfered from one molecule/object to the other.
What is energy.
300
A large water wave created by movement of tectonic plates.
What is a tsunami.
300
Seismic waves travel ______________ than water waves.
What is faster
400
Draw a wave that has a low frequency but a high amplitude.
400
Sound waves with a low frequency sound like this:
What is a low pitch.
400
Energy is the ability to do this.
What is work.
400
A similarity between water waves and sound waves.
What is amplitude, frequency, wavelength, mechanical.
400
Seismic waves are measured on this scale.
What is richter?
500
A wave with a long wavelength has a ______________ frequency.
What is low
500
Why does sound travel faster through a solid than a liquid?
Because the molecules are more tightly packed together in a solid. This way, molecules that are vibrating are closer together and can transfer energy more quickly.
500
When sound, water, or seismic waves bounce off something we say they are _____________.
What is reflected.
500
A difference between water waves and sound waves.
Water waves need water while sound waves can travel through any type of matter.
