What are Waves
There are this number of main categories of waves.
What is 2?
These 3 waves are considered the 3 types of mechanical waves.
What are longitudinal, transverse, and surface waves?
This measures the distance between the resting pos. of the wave and the crest/trough.
What is amplitude?
A push or a pull
What is force?
The force between charged particles or objects
What is electric force?
Any disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another.
What is a wave?
A wave where particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave.
What are longitudinal waves?
This is a description that focuses on describing something based on observations.
What is a qualitative descriptions?
For every action there is an equal (in strength) but opposite (in direction) reaction.
What is Newton's third Law of Motion?
The relationship between electricity and magnetism
What is electromagnetism?
These types of waves do not require a medium to operate.
What are electromagnetic waves?
The length of a single longitudinal wave is measured from 1 ________/________ to another.
What is compression/rarefaction
The highest and lowest parts of the wave.
What are the crest and troughs?
This states that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe that have mass.
What is the Law of Universal Gravitation?
The attraction or repulsion between magnets
What is Magnetism?
Waves that result from the vibration of a medium, or type of matter.
What are Mechanical waves?
A wave where particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What are transverse waves?
this description focuses on describing something based on what can be measured.
What is a quantitative description?
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a nonzero net force.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
These are found closer together as strength increases with magnetic force.
What are magnetic field lines?
Waves can be classified by how the particles in a disturbance ______ relative to the _______ of wave movement.
What is vibrate & direction?
A seismic wave, which causes earthquakes, is known as this type of wave.
What is a surface wave?
This measures the number of times that a wave repeats over a period of time.
What is frequency?
Also a math term telling you the rate of change.
What is slope?
An electromagnet is a solenoid with this in it.
What is a ferromagnetic core?
