Who gifted Mrs. Latta her new clock?
Isaac (thank you Isaac)
The distance between two corresponding points on a wave
wavelength
This particles in this type of wave travel parallel the direction of travel.
Longitudinal Wave
Speed = Wavelength x Frequency
A high density region of a longitudinal wave where the particles crowd together.
Compression
What is Mrs. Latta's favorite type of TV show?
competition shows
A low density region where particles of a longitudinal wave spread apart
Rarefaction
The wavelength and frequency are ___________ related.
inversely
The formula to calculate wavelength given speed and frequency of a wave.
Wavelength = Speed / Frequency
Speed of a wave is defined as ....
The distance a wave travels in a unit of time.
