Wave Properties
This is the highest point of a wave...
What is the crest?
An increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other...
What is the Doppler effect?
The range of (normal) human hearing...
What is 20Hz-20,000Hz?
What we call an "earthquake wave"...
What is a seismic wave?
Mechanical waves MUST have a medium to travel through...
What is True?
This is the lowest point of a wave...
What is the trough?
How the pitch changes as you move AWAY from a siren...
What is the pitch LOWERS?
The name for sounds BELOW 20Hz...
What is Infrasound?
The fastest type of seismic wave...
What are P-Waves (Primary)?
The direction in which a longitudinal wave travels...
What is parallel (back and forth)?
This is the distance from "rest" (Line of Origin) to crest...
How the pitch changes as you move TOWARDS a siren...
What is the pitch gets higher?
The name for sounds ABOVE the human hearing threshold...
What is Ultrasound?
The slowest type of waves...
What are S-Waves (Secondary)?
The type of mechanical wave that sound is...
What is longitudinal?
This is the measured distance from either crest to crest or trough to trough...
What is wavelength?
What is, the sound wave gets longer?
What animals can hear BELOW 20Hz?
Elephants, (answers may vary)
The type(s) of medium(s) P-Waves can travel through...
What are solid, liquid, or gas?
The type of direction that a transverse wave moves...
What is perpendicular (up and down)?
This is the imaginary line that runs through the center of a wave...
What is the Line of Origin?
Give one example of the doppler effect other than an ambulance or police siren...
Higher pitch frequencies have higher frequencies...
What is True?
The type of seismic wave that is transverse in movement...
The type of interference that occurs when two waves combine to form a larger wave...
Constructive
