What is a wave?
A disturbance involving the transfer of energy from place to place.
what are vibration?
A repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion.
what are transverse wave?
A wave the vibrates the medium at right angles, or perpendicular, to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
Waves that vibrates the medium in the same direction in which the wave travels
what is the combination of transverse and longitudinal waves?
Surface waves
what is wave energy?
The ability to do work, like the energy of water wave can lift an object on the water's surface.
How do Mechanical waves form?
When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate.
what is a crest?
A high point on a transverse wave
what is compression?
An area where coils are close together.
What are surface waves?
A type of waves that travel along a surface that separates two mediums.
what is a medium?
The material through which a wave travels is called a medium.
What transfers to a medium to produce waves?
a moving object
what is a trough?
a low point on a transverse wave.
what is rarefaction?
An area where the coils are spread out
What are examples of surface waves?
ocean waves, ripples in a pond, and seismic surface waves
What is a mechanical wave?
Waves that require a medium to travel
What is need to make a wave ?
energy
In what ways do transverse wave move?
from one side to another
What kind of wave can a toy slinky make?
A longitudinal wave
What other kind of wave do surface waves move like?
Transverse Waves
What can Waves travel through?
air,water,solid materials,objects
What form of energy is associated with motion, position, or shape of an object ?
Mechanical energy.
In what ways does the object move when waves are going through it?
Up-and-down or side-to-side
In what direction does a longitudinal wave move?
forward and then back
The up-and-down and back-and-forth movements combine to make each particle to move and form a what?
A cycle.
