types of waves
what direction go transverse wave
they go perpendicular
what is wavelength
the distance between the start of one wave cycle and the next wave cycle
definition of energy
what is the ability to move cycles to causes a change
what is a real example of a mechanical
slinky, spring, guitar stings etc.
what direction do longitudinal waves go
they go parallel
what is amplitude
the size of a disturbance the wave causes in its medium
is energy transferred through waves
yes
what is a real world example of a transverse wave
water waves, light waves etc.
what directions do surface waves go
they go circlular
what is frequency
the number of wave cycles that pass in a certain point of time
does more energy affect frequency or amplitude
amplitude
what is a real world example of a longitudinal wave
ultrasound waves, rice on a drum etc.
what is a surface wave
a wave in which matter moves in a circular pattern
what is wave speed
the distance a wave moves in a given amount of time
is energy and amplitude proportional
yes
what are real world examples of surface waves
ocean waves, tsunamis etc.
what is a mechanical wave
how do you calculate wave speed
frequency x wavelength = wave speed
does medium affects the energy and amplitude
yea
if you talk in the air and in the water which on will need more energy to produce a certain sound
water
