Equations/Relationships
As the wavelength gets longer, this gets lower.
What is frequency?
This type of wave is in a confined space.
What is a standing wave?
A quiet sound wave will have a small this.
What is amplitude?
This happens to light waves that encounter an object and are not reflected or transmitted.
What is absorbed?
You cannot see a clear image in choppy water because the light undergoes this type of reflection.
What is diffuse?
A wave with a larger amplitude has ______ energy.
What is more?
They travel through the ground.
What are seismic waves?
As a siren approaches, the pitch appears to get higher. This is due to the ______ ______
What is doppler effect?
The angle of reflection and the angle of incidence are always this.
What is equal?
Waves carry this; not this.
What is energy; not matter?
Calculation for the speed of a wave.
What is frequency times wavelength?
How the energy in a longitudinal (compressional) wave moves relative to the medium.
What is parallel (in the same direction)?
The points that do not move in a standing wave.
What are nodes?
A light wave can travel through this, but a sound wave cannot.
What is a vacuum?
What are density, temperature, and stiffness?
The unit we use to measure frequency.
What is hertz?
Sound is this type of wave.
What is mechanical?
A sound wave will travel fastest in this state of matter.
What is a solid?
This type of wave interaction explains why white light passing through a prism appears to form a rainbow.
What is refraction?
After a particle in a wave transfers energy it does this.
What is returns to it's original resting position?
If a wave has a speed of 5 m/s and a frequency of 1/6 Hz, what is the wavelength?
What is 30 m
What is transverse?
Mechanical waves travel on this.
What are media?
The light waves reflected off an object determines it.
What is the color of an object?
When light refracts it is bending due to change in this.
What is speed?
