Wave Properties
What is its amplitude?
Amplitude is the displacement of a mechanical wave.
What is refraction?
When a wave bends as it passes through a different medium
What type of wave is a sound wave?
Mechanical, longitudinal
Which organelle is the powerhouse of the cell?
Mitochondria
This European country is known for its famous landmarks like the Colosseum and canals of Venice.
Italy
What happens to a wave's frequency if its wavelength increases?
Frequency decreases
Why do light waves travel through gaps and around corners?
Diffraction
What type of mediums do sound waves travel fastest? Which ones do sound waves travel slowest?
Sound travels fastest in solids and liquids, and they travel slowest in gases.
What are mixtures divided into?
Homogenous and Heterogenous
This classic board game requires players to buy and trade properties while trying to avoid bankruptcy.
Monopoly
What sets electromagnetic waves apart from mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic radiation
Which law governs the interaction that occurs when a waves bounces off an objects?
The Law of Reflection
Would sound bounce off better in denser surfaces or porous surfaces? Explain.
The sound would bounce off better in a denser surface since it doesn't have as many pores, not allowing the sound to be absorbed by the wall.
P: color, melting point, boiling point, size, volume
C: flammability, reactivity
This English writer was known as the "Bard of Avon."
William Shakespeare
What causes a wave's energy?
The vibrations inputted or the larger amplitude in a wave.
Why do two waves cancel each other out when they meet in a certain way? Explain
Two waves cancel each other out in destructive interference when a crest meets a trough, reducing the amplitude.
How powerful is a 30-dB sound when compared to a 10-dB sound?
100 times more
Dominant traits are always expressed, even if only one copy of the dominant trait exists. Recessive traits are expressed only if both alleles are recessive.
This city, located on two continents, is the largest in Turkey.
Istanbul
What is the definition of a surface wave?
A combination of transverse and longitudinal waves.
A wave moves from water into air. Explain why the wave changes in speed and direction when it leaves the water and enters the air.
A wave speeds up and bends when it moves from water into air. This happens because water is denser than air, causing the wave to slow down in water and speed up in air, bending as a result
How many more times louder than a 40-dB conversation is a 120-dB jet plane taking off? Explain.
100,000,000 times
