Parts of a wave
The highest point of a wave.
What is a crest
the bending of waves as they pass through two different mediums that cause the wave to travel at different speeds
What is refraction?
What is the wavelength
25m/s = 5Hz*wavelength
5 m
A wave in which the particles from the medium vibrate parallel to the wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The higher the frequency of a wave the more energy it has
True
The high point of a wave measured from the line of origin
What is the amplitude?
The change in the direction of the wave when the wave hit an obstacle, edge, or opening
What is diffraction
A wave has a frequency of 2 Hz and a wavelength of 6 m. What is the wave speed?
12 m/S
The amount of time it takes to complete a single wave.
What is a wave cycle?
We measure frequency in decibels.
False
The measurement from one crest or trough to the next crest or trough
What is wavelength
The type of interference that causes a greater amplitude than either of the separate waves.
What is constructive interferrance?
A wave has a period of 10 seconds. What is the frequency?
.1 Hz
The type of wave that the medium moves perpendicular to the wave.
What is a transverse wave?
Waves transport the medium it uses
False
The lowest part of a wave
What is a trough?
An echo is an example of this kind of property
What is reflection
Wave length= 40m
Wave Speed= 160 m/s
Find Frequency
4 Hz
The type of wave that requires a medium to travel.
If I take all the air out of a jar with an alarm clock in it I will still be able to hear the bell of the alarm clock
False
The line from which the wave rises and falls.
What is the line of origin?
The type of interference that causes the wave to display a lower amplitude than that seen in either original wave
What is destructive interference?
A wave has a period of .5 seconds, and a wavelength of 5 m. What is the wave speed?
10 m/s
The type of wave that does not require a medium
What is an electromagnetic wave
The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength and the size of the opening.
