Vocab
This is the height of a wave from the origin to the crest or trough
What is Amplitude?
This is the highest part of a wave
What is Crest?
This is the distant between two adjacent crests or troughs of a wave
What is Wavelength?
This is the equation for velocity.
What is v = f λ?
This is a wave that is moving in the same direction as the displacement of the transmitting medium
What is Compression or Longitudinal wave?
This is when the crest of one wave meets the crest of another wave at the same point, increasing the wave's amplitude.
What is Constructive Interference?
This has energy in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that is released in electromagnetic processes
What is Electromagnetic Radiation?
This is the equation for wavelength.
What is λ = v/f ?
This is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point per unit of time.
What is Frequency?
This is a wave that is propagated in the sane direction as the displacement of he transmitting field or medium.
What is Longitudinal Wave?
This is the combination of two or more of the same type of wave
What is Interference?
These are the units for frequency
What is Hz? (hertz)
An ocean vessel uses SONAR to detect the ocean's bottom. Sound waves are emitted from the surface of the ocean and travel through the water at 1490 m/s, with a wavelength of 15 m. The bottom of the ocean is 1630 m below the surface. This is the frequency of the sound waves as they travel to the bottom of the ocean.
This is the Material through which the wave travels
What is the Medium?
This is the observation that when certain wavelengths of light strike a piece of metal, electrons are emitted, potentially creating an electric current.
What is Photoelectric Effect?
This is the Process of converting an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing electrons.
What is Ionization?
This is the Velocity of an object when the frequency is 1 hz and lambda is .06m
What is .06m/s
This is when the crest of one wave meets the trough of another at the same point, decreasing the wave's amplitude
What is Destructive interference?
This is the 7 different waves we classify by wavelength or frequency and energy.
What is Electromagnetic Spectrum?
This is an increase in density caused by external pressure.
What is compression?
This wave has a larger wavelength, when Wave A has a frequency of 10hz and Wave B has a frequency of 4 HZ. Both waves have a velocity of 80 m/s
What is Wave B. 20m
