Parts Of The wAVE
What is the trough of a wave?
The LOWEST part of a transverse wave.
Something all waves carry?
Energy
An object sitting on a tree limb 3 m above the ground
Potential
sound waves are this type of mechanical wave.
Longitudinal
What is the crest of a wave?
The HIGHEST part of a transverse wave.
What are the two main types of waves?
Mechanical & Electromagnetic.
The total energy (Kinetic and Potential Energy) of an object.
Mechanical Energy
a high pitch sound wave has this type of frequency
(HIGH OR LOW)
High
What is amplitude?
The maximum that particles of a medium move away from their rest position as a wave passes through the medium. (height of a wave)
What are the parts of a Transverse wave?
Rest position, Crest, Trough, Amplitude, and Wavelength.
A rubber band flying through the air
Kinectic Energy
a soft or low sound wave has a low (A*********)
AMPLITUDE
What is wavelength?
The length between two waves.
What is the difference between Transverse and Longitudinal Waves?
In Transverse waves, the particles travel at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling, Longitudinal waves, the particles move in the same direction the wave is traveling.
Increasing the height of an object will do what to Potential Energy?
Increase
a sound wave would travel the fastest through this form of matter
Solid
Explain the point of origin
The point of origin is where the wave starts.
How are Mechanical waves formed? Give three examples.
Mechanical Waves are formed by vibrations caused by movement. Example Sound, Water and Seismic.
On a roller coaster, the top of the hill has the maximum amount of this type of energy.
Potential Energy
what causes the siren of an ambulance to change pitch
Doppler Effect
