Parts of a wave
Highest part of a wave.
What is the amplitude?
Higher the frequency the shorter the _______
What is wavelength?
Produced by the vibration of material objects
What is sound?
This wave travels at right angles with respect to the motion of the material through which it travels
What is a transverse wave?
V shaped waves produced by an object moving faster than the speed of waves
What is the bow wave?
The distance in meters from the crest of one wave to the crest of another
What is wavelength
Part of the electromagnetic spectrum that contains color
What is visible light?
Increase in measured frequency from a approaching source
What is the Doppler Effect?
These are the type of waves created on a stringed instrument
What is a transverse wave?
This instrument is used to measure earthquakes
What is a seismograph?
The inverse of period
What is frequency?
All the different wavelengths of visible light combined together
What is white light?
The displacement of spectral lines toward longer wavelengths in radiation from distant galaxies and celestial objects.
What is red shift?
Sound waves are this type of wave
What is longitudinal waves?
The way in which interference patterns are produced
What is overlapping waves?
The distance from the crest to the midpoint
What is amplitude?
Electromagnetic waves with the highest frequency and shortest wavelengths
What are gamma rays?
The actual speed of sound at room temperature
What is 340 m/s?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves, but are classified as this type of wave
What is transverse wave?
Waves travel at a frequency of 4 Hz. So the period is _____
What is .25s?
The time for one wavelength to pass a position
What is a period?
People can see light with this estimated value of frequencies
What is hundreds of trillions of frequencies?
Cone shaped wave produced from an object moving faster than the speed of sound.
What is a shock wave?
Points in a wave are known as this if they overlap to produce destructive interference
What is out of phase?
The school sways back and forth every 10 seconds. So the frequency of the vibrations are _____
What is .10 Hz?
