Wave Phenomena
100
The distance between a point on one cycle of a wave and the same point on the next cycle.
What is wavelength?
100
A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What is a transverse wave?
100
A wavelength is the distance between these two points.
a) S and Y
b) R and V
c) Z and U
d) R and T
What are R and V?
100
A sound with a frequency of 10 hz has this period.
What is 0.1 s?
100
Sound waves are _______ waves.
What is longitudinal?
100
A change in sound frequency caused by the motion of the sound source, motion of the listener, or both.
What is the Doppler effect?
200
The maximum distance the medium of a wave travels from its rest position
What is amplitude?
200
Mechanical waves need a ______________ to travel through.
What is a medium.
200
This student observes a wave with a higher frequency.
Who is student 2?
200
A wave with a wavelength of 2.5 meters and a frequency of 5 hz has this velocity.
What is 12.5 m/s?
200
An indication of how high or low a sound is, which is primarily determined by the frequency of the sound wave
What is pitch?
200
A singer can shatter a wine glass using only their voice due to this phenomenon.
What is resonance (or standing waves)?
300
The number of cycles that occur per second.
What is frequency?
300
This is what waves carry from one place to another.
What is Energy?
300
This is the period of this wave.
What is 50 seconds?
300
For waves moving at a constant speed, if the wavelength increases, this is what happens to the frequency.
What is frequency decreases?
300
This is the wave with the loudest volume. (red, blue or green)
What is blue?
300
On a standing wave, these are the areas which do not move at all and which move the most, respectively.
What are nodes and antinodes?
400
The more energy a wave has, the greater the ___________.
What is amplitude?
400
A wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
400
This is the number of complete wavelength between points A and H.
What are two complete wavelengths?
400
A child on a swing swing back and forth 20 times over the span of 120 seconds. This is their frequency.
What is 0.167 hz?
400
This determines the speed of a sound wave.
(Frequency, Amplitude, Air temperature, or wavelength)
What is air temperature only?
400
A 1500 hz siren sounds like it is 1600 hz. This is the direction you are moving relative to the siren.
What is towards the siren?
500
A sound wave travels fastest through this medium. (Solid, Liquid, or Gas)
What is a solid?
500
In a longitudinal wave, areas where the particles of the medium are pulled farther apart.
What are rarefactions?
500
A wave moving 250 m/s has a wavelength of 12.5 meters. This is the frequency of the wave source.
What is 20 hz?
500
Noise-canceling headphones rely on this phenomenon where waves with opposite amplitudes momentarily cancel each other out.
What is desctructive interference?
