What is the name of the wave?
It requires an medium for which to travel through
What is an Mechanical Wave?
Lowest part of the wave
What is trough?
What is amplitude?
A motion is its maximum displacement from equilibrium.
How can you tell the difference between a Traverse Wave and a Standing Wave ?
Traveling Waves vs. Standing Waves, A mechanical wave is a disturbance that is created by a vibrating object and subsequently travels through a medium from one location to another, transporting energy as it moves. As a wave is observed traveling through a medium, a crest is seen moving along from particle to particle
What happens to frequency when energy increases?
It increases
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart
What is rarefaction?
Number Of wave that pass a given point per second
What is frequency?
We measure the frequency of a wave in.....
What is Hertz?
What do all waves transmit?
What is Energy?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The highest part of the wave
What is crest?
a periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium
What is a Wave?
The substance that a mechanical wave travels through is called its
What is Medium?
If there is no waves, the particles would be at the...
What is resting point?
A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it is really two waves interfering as they pass through each other.
What is a standing wave?
Distance between identical point of the trough or crest
What is wavelength?
A wave that seems to be stationary
What is Standing Wave?
When a wavelength increases what happens to frequency?
it decreases
Which Travels faster, light or sound?
What is light?
A longitudinal seismic wave.
What is a P wave?
matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction the wave travels; made of compression's and rarefaction's
What is Compressional wave?
bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening
What is diffraction?
How is amplitude related to loudness?
the higher the amplitude the louder the wave
How is frequency related to pitch?
the faster the frequency the higher pitch it produces
