How Waves Move
Waves that move in and up-and-down or side-to-side pattern are __________ waves.
Transverse
Measurement of energy in a wave
Amplitude
What did God design waves to do and how do they travel? Write on paper
God designed waves to move energy from place to place. Waves move the energy outward away from the source. Waves travel through a medium, but the medium does not move from one place to another.
Most waves travel through a crest.
F
Waves that move in a back-and-forth or push-and-pull pattern are called _________ waves
Longitudinal
Number of waves that pass a certain point in one second.
Frequency
Draw a transverse wave and label the parts
see whiteboard
God designed waves to transfer particles of matter.
F
God designed all waves to transfer...
Energy
Distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave...
Wavelength
Draw a longtitudinal wave and label the parts
see whiteboard
Transverse waves with short wavelengths have more energy than waves with long wavelengths.
