What is the formula used for the calculation of the pendulum?
T = period
π = pi
L = pendulum length
g = acceleration due to gravity

What is the definition of a wave?
A wave is a disturbance or variation that transfers energy progressively from point to point in a medium and that may take the form of an elastic deformation or of a variation of pressure, electric or magnetic intensity, electric potential, or temperature.
100
What are real life examples of waves?
Water waves count, or wind waves and some others
100
What are the main types of (mechanical)waves?
They are : Longitudinal waves, Transverse waves, Surface waves
200
How do you calculate a frequency?
Its
f v/λ
the frequency of the wave is f,
the wave velocity or wave speed is V,
the wavelength of the wave is λ.
200
What is a period in waves?
It is the time it takes for two wave crest to reach the same point in height and length
200
Do waves play an important part in world?
Yes they do, with things like wind or water waves. Or other things like sound waves or light waves.
200
What wave is determined by it's height?
Its wave height...(I hope you didn't get that wrong)
300
Do you think knowing how to calculate waves is important?
I don't since you probably wont be in a situation where you need to know how to calculate waves to
300
What are mechanical waves?
A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another.
300
Can you find an example right now?
There should be one in front of you
300
Can you tell me what are surface waves?
A seismic wave is one that travels across the surface of the Earth as opposed to through it.
400
What is this formula used to find? λ = v/f V= velocity of the wave, f = frequency
This is the calculation of the wavelength and it should be pretty easy
400
Do you know what electromagnetic waves are?(I don’t)
Electromagnetic waves or EM waves for short, are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.
400
At the back of your head which do you think is more common? Mechanical waves, or Electromagnetic waves?
Both are really common in everyday life with things like water, sound or wind being mechanical. Light waves or microwaves are electromagnetic.
400
Now that you know what electromagnetic waves are(at least I hope), NAME THEM(and this isn't a question)
They include things like, Gamma ray, X-ray, Infrared ray, UV ray, Visible light, Microwaves, Radio waves
500
Tell me how to calculate light waves?(i don't know other hard questions so I am asking things we haven't even been taught lol)
It is E = h ν E=h\nu E=hν
500
What the hell are matter waves?(seriously I don’t know what questions I am asking and I am only doing this for the extra grade)
The matter-wave describes the relationship between momentum and wavelength. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum (mass and velocity) of the particle. The smaller the wavelength of the matter wave, the faster the particle moves.
500
Electromagnetic waves are really really common, now tell me and example
There are a lot of examples of electromagnetic waves one of them is light which is what you are starring at right now
500
idk what to ask, so just tell me an example of matter waves?
For example, a beam of electrons can be diffracted just like any other beam of electromagnetic radiation or water wave.
