waves
How does energy travel through waves?
Through the vibrations of particles
What is transmitted by all waves?
energy
do longitudinal waves carry sound?
sound waves are longitudinal waves
How do transverse waves affect matter?
transfer energy due to the interactions that make up the medium
how can longitudinal waves be transmitted?
In a solid medium, both transverse and longitudinal mechanical waves can be transmitted
why do mechanical waves need energy?
to transmit energy
do waves transfer force?
all waves transfer energy but they do not transfer matter
How can you detect electromagnetic waves?
an antenna detects either the oscillating electric fields or the oscillating magnetic fields
what is 4 things all waves have?
wavelength, frequency, speed and amplitude.
how is a longitudinal wave made?
The particles are displaced to the direction the wave travels.
How do you identify a transverse wave?
the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
What causes an electric wave?
when an electric field couples with a magnetic field
How do mechanical waves move?
through matter as the particles of matter push against one another in a vibrating pattern
how fast do waves travel?
Relatively small waves move at up to about 10 km/h.
