Wave calculations
If the amplitude is high, the volume is...
High
Supersonic speed
To produce a longitudinal wave with a slinky, I would shake it
In and out
The distance from peak to peak
What is wavelength?
Electromagnetic spectrum
High frequency waves have _______ pitch
High
Standing waves are produced by
interference- constructive are that antinodes destructive are the nodes
It starts with a vibration
Sound waves
The lowest point of a transverse wave
What is the trough?
Transverse waves move ____________ to the direction of energy transferred.
What is perpendicular?
If the wavelength is 4 m and the velocity is 3 m/s, then the frequency of the wave is ?
.75 Hz
What visible color is has the longest wavelength?
Red
The time of a back and forth swing of the pendulum is called
a period
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 wavelength is 5 m and the frequency is 5 hz, what is the wave velocity?
25 m/s
Visible color light that has the shortest wave length
Blue shift- Purple violent end of the rainbox
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 perpendicular to how the wave is moving.
What is a transverse wave?
The lowest frequency we can hear is about 20 Hz. Calculate the wavelength associated with this frequency for sound that travels at 340 m/s. How long is the wavelength?
17 meters
a 3 dimensional wave that consists of overlapping spheres that form a cone
What is a shock wave
What is the equation to calculate wave speed?
V= wavelength x Frequency
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
Compression/Longitudinal
