True or false: Ms. Webb loves dogs
False, she loves cats
Which step of the scientific method should be in an "If... Then... Because", statement.
This step is the Hypothesis
What is a longitudinal wave?
a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion.
Example of an electromagnetic wave is
Light rays
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
Transverse wave
