The matter through which a wave travels
What is a medium
What does a wave carry?
What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter or space.
How can you calculate the speed of a wave?
What is Wavelength divided by period equals wave speed.
Explain why colors appears on the surface of a soap bubble?
What is light reflecting off the front and back surface of the thin soap film.
As frequency increases, wavelength does what ?
What is Decreases
Waves that require a medium
Mechanical waves
How are waves generated?
What is vibration.
What are some ways to measure waves?
What is distance.
When the crest of one wave meets the trough of another wave, the resulting wave has a similar amplitude than the larger of the two waves.
Destructive interference
As wavelength increases, frequency does this.
What is decreases
The distance from one crest to the next crest
What is wavelength
What are ripples?
What is a type of wave.
How to compare waves?
What is period and frequency are measurements based on time.
Results from interference between a wave and it’s reflected wave.
What is a Standing wave
As wave energy increases this also increase.
What is amplitude
The number of wavelength that pass a point in a given time interval
What is frequency
How do the particles in ocean waves move?
What is perpendicular and parallel.
Why sound waves travel faster in liquids or solids than in air?
What is the molecules of a solid are closer together and can transmit energy faster.
What happens when two or more waves are in the same location?
What is combine to produce a single.
The highest point on a wave
This change in the observed frequency of a wave
What is Dropper effect
Name the one kind of wave that does not require a medium.
What is electromagnetic waves.
Why does the pitch of an ambulance siren change as the ambulance rushes past you?
What is motion between the source of waves and the observer.
How does a standing wave affect the medium in which it travels?
What is to vibrate in stationary pattern that resembles a loop.
A mechanical wave cannot travel through…
What is empty space
