Energy
Which type of wave moves particles in a perpendicular direction of the waves?
Transverse
What is a medium? Give the 3 examples
Material through which waves can travel though. (Gas, liquids, solids)
What are the two types of mechanical waves called?
What is transverse and longitudinal waves.
Frequency of a wave is measured in?
Hz ( Hertz)
The high point of a wave
crest
What does the Latin root word "trans" mean? (50 points)
Which type of wave moves the particles parallel to the direction of the wave.
Longitudinal
Perpendicular
Why is there no sound in space?
Because sound waves need a medium to travel through which there is none of in space.
The distance from rest(equilibrium) to trough.
Amplitude
The low point of a wave
Trough
How fast a wave travels is known as
Wave speed or velocity.
What does parallel mean?
Two lines in the same plane that are at equal distance from each other and never meet
Why can we see the light from the stars and sun on Earth?
Because light waves do no need a medium to travel through.
What type of wave does sound travel through?
What is a Longitudinal wave?
The distance between two crests or two troughs.
Wavelength
The matter that waves travel through is known as
Medium
Longitudinal Wave
What type of wave does not need a medium to travel to?
Electromagnetic waves.
The parts compression, rarefaction, amp, and wavelength belong to which wave?
What is longitudinal wave?
Measures the height of the wave.
Amplitude
A disturbance that carries energy is called
Complete the analogy. Soda is to pop as compressional wave is to ________________.
Longitudinal wave
Give me 3 examples of a mechanical wave.
What is water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves.
What does perpendicular mean?
Lines that intersect at a 90 degrees angle.
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second
Frequency
