Equations/Relationships
Relationship between period and frequency (give both equations)
T=1/f and f=1/T
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?
The visible light color with the lowest energy.
What is red?
As the wavelength gets longer, this gets lower.
What is frequency?
A wave with a larger amplitude has ______ energy.
What is more?
They travel through the ground.
What are seismic waves?
Each wave has a specific wavelength, frequency and this.
What is amplitude?
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 wave moves relative to the medium.
What is parallel?
The points that do not move in a standing wave.
What are nodes?
What are Frequency, Energy and Wavelength?
The sky appears blue because...
What is blue light is scattered more than any other?
The unit we use to measure frequency.
What is hertz?
Sound is this type of wave.
What is mechanical?
This cannot transmit a mechanical wave
What is a vacuum?
Arranged from longest to shortest wavelength, the order of: x-rays, infrared waves, microwaves, and ultraviolet rays.
What is microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, and x-rays?
After a particle in a wave transfers energy it does this.
What is returns to it's original resting position?
If a string vibrates at a frequency of 2 hertz its period is this.
What is half a second?
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?
