Wave calculations
If the amplitude is high, the volume is...
High
If a shirt reflects all colors, what color is the shirt?
White
sound waves cannot carry energy through this
A vacuum/space
The distance from peak to peak
What is wavelength?
Electromagnetic spectrum
High frequency waves have _______ pitch
High
What color absorbs all light?
Black
It starts with a vibration
Sound waves
The lowest point of a transverse wave
What is the trough?
Transverse waves more ____________ to the direction of energy transferred.
What is perpendicular?
4cm/second
What visible color is has the longest wavelength?
Red
when a wave strikes a surface and bounces off is called
What is reflection?
The measurement of a wave from the resting line to the crest.
Amplitude
EM waves are an example of this type of wave
What is a transverse wave?
If the velocity is 10cm/second, what is the frequency for 2 seconds?
20cm
What visible color has the shortest wavelength?
Purple/Violet
Every wave, regardless of type or medium, transfers this
What is energy?
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second.
What is frequency?
This type of wave vibrates matter in the opposite direction from how the wave is moving.
What is a transverse wave?
The wavelength is 2cm, how long is it from one node to the next?
1 cm
What are two colors we cannot see?
Infrared and ultraviolet
how a wave bends as it moves from one medium into another
Diffraction
The points where a wave crosses the resting line
Nodes
This type of wave requires a medium and the energy moves in the same direction (parallel) to the medium
