Parts of Wave
The top part of the wave
What is the crest?
The amplitude of the wave in the diagram (Mrs. Dotson)
What is 12 cm?
The two types of waves
What are transverse and longitudinal?
An object does this in order to produce sound
A tool that can used to model wave motion during a scientific investigation
What is a slinky?
The bottom part of the wave
What is the trough
The part of the wave labeled represent these wave parts.
What are x-compression, y-rarefaction?
This type of wave has particles moving back and forth along the same direction the wave moves
What is longitudinal?
Sound waves travel fastest in this type of medium
What is a solid?
The type of medium sound waves travel through when someone can hear a cannon being fired from a distance
What is air?
Measured from crest to crest or trough to trough
What is the wavelength?
The number that represents the wavelength (Mrs. Dotson)
What is 1?
This type of wave has particles that move perpendicular to the direction the wave moves
What is transverse?
You can hear sound around corners because of this type of wave interaction
A frequency of a wave is measured in these units
The highest point from the equillibrium line (rest position)
What is the amplitude?
The frequencies from highest to lowest (Mrs. Dotson)
What is 3, 2, 1?
This type of wave has parts called compression and rarefaction
What is longitudinal?
Sound proofing materials are designed to _____ sound
What is absorb?
The ______ the amplitude, the ________ energy the wave carries.
What is larger and more?
The number of wave patterns that pass per second
What is the frequency?
Increase the frequency of the wave, the scientist needs to (Mrs. Dotson)
What is decrease A?
This type of wave has parts called crests and troughs
What is transverse?
When a wave passes through the medium
What is transmission?
True or False: Reflection occurs when a wave bounces back from surface
What is true?
