Name that Wave
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.
What is amplitude?
The interaction between waves that meet.
What is wave interference.
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave. (Crest - Crest)
What is wavelength?
When two waves interfere and destroy one another
What is destructive interference?
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
What is a compression?
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
When two waves interfere and build on one and other
What is constructive interference.
Doppler Effect can best be explain using..
What is a sirens or police car.
A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it is really two waves interfering as they pass through each other.
What is a standing wave?
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
What is a rarefaction?
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
The bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass.
What is reflection?
A huge surface wave on the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake.
What is a tsunami?
What does this symbol stand for (λ)
Called Lambda stands for wavelength.
A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
What is an antinode?
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
The increase in the amplitude of a vibration that occurs when external vibrations match an object’s natural frequency. (Guitar string)
What is resonance?
T or Period(time) is inversely proportional to...
What is (f)frequency unit Hz.
