waves
This type of wave needs a medium
mechanical wave
This is one complete back and forth motion of an object
What is vibration
This is the speed at which a wave is moving
What is wave speed
This is where the particles of a longitudinal wave are crowded together
What is compression
the frequency is 25 hertz, .04
What is the period?
X-rays and microwaves are examples of these types of waves
What is electromagnetic
this is any substance through which a wave can travel
What is a medium
This is The distance from crest to crest, or from trough to trough
What is wavelength
Speed of light
What is 300000000 m/s
This is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space
What is a wave
This is the highest point of a transverse wave
What is a crest
This is the number of waves produced in a certain amount of time
What is frequency
The length is .25 m and the period
What is 1 sec?
radio waves long wavelength, microwaves
What is shorter wavelength?
This is a waves where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave
What is longitudinal wave
This is the lowest point of a transverse wave
What is a trough
This is the maximum distance the particles of a wave vibrate from resting position
What is amplitude
Sound waves are examples of what type of wave?
What is mechanical or longitudinal
red, yellow,yellow, green, blue indigo and violet
What is the spectrum of visible light?
This is a wave where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave
What is a transverse wave
This is what electromagnetic waves can travel through. Another word for empty space
What is a vacuum
If you increase the wavelength, what happens to the frequency?
What is it decreases
a period of .56 sec, length
What is .077 meters?.
Red frequency compared to green
What is lower frequency
