_________________ are mechanical waves whose particles and wave direction move perpendicular to each other.
What is transverse?
200
The regions of a longitudinal wave where particles are under higher pressure (more densely packed)
What is a compression?

Sound waves are this kind of mechanical wave
What is longitudinal?
400
The regions of a longitudinal wave where particles are under lower pressure (less densely packed)
What are rarefactions?
400
The human ear can perceive sounds in a range between 20-20,000Hz. If a retired Spirit Airlines passenger plane is celebrating with a burnout, traveling at a speed of 345 m/s and the distance between 2 compressions of the wave is 1.5 meters, would an observer hear the plane break the sound barrier? Why or why not?
Yes, the frequency of 230 Hz
400

Which New Testament writer wrote this: "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind?"
Who is James?
500
If you are in space and a rocket passes by, what would you hear? Why?
Nothing - there are no particles between the rocket and your ear to transmit the energy.
500
The difference in the particle density between compressions and rarefactions of a longitudinal wave determine this about the wave.
The amplitude (energy it carries)

An astronaut wants to use a microwave gun to heat a hot pocket in space. Explain why he can or cannot do this.
He can - microwaves are electromagnetic waves which can travel through space
