Types of waves
Surface waves
What is the particles in a surface wave move both perpendicularly and parallel to the direction in which the wave travels?
Frequency
What is a measurement based on time?
Standing waves
What is a standing wave causes the medium to vibrate in stationary pattern that resembles a loop or a series of loops?
Successive
What is following one after the other; consecutive?
What does Mrs.Lathers teach?
What is Physical Science?
What do waves carry?
What is energy from a source to a point some distance away?
Amplitude
What is a measure of distance?
Reflection
What is when a wave meets a surface or boundary, the wave bounces back.
Sphere
What is a 3D surface whose points are equally distant from the center?
Doppler effect
What is motion between the source of waves and the observer creates a change in observed frequency?
What is a wave?
What is a disturbance that carries energy through matter or space?
Period
What is a measurement based on time?
Interference
What is when several waves are in the same location, they combine to produce a single, new wave that is different from the original waves?
Frequency
What is the number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time; also the number of waves produced in a given amount of time?
Hoe is refraction different from diffraction?
What is diffraction is the bending of waves around an obstacle, whereas refraction is the bending that occurs when a wave passes into a new medium?
Longitudinal waves
what is a wave in which the wave motion is parallel to the particle motion.
Wavelength
What is a measure of distance?
Diffraction
What is when a wave passes the edge of an object or passes through an opening, the wave bends?
Mechanical wave
What is a wave that requires a medium through which to travel?
Does sound in water travel faster or slower than sound in air?
What is yes; sound in water travels faster than sound in air?
Transverse waves
What is a wave in which the wave motion is perpendicular to the particle motion.
How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave measured?
what is the wavelength ca be measured from any two identical, consecutive points, such as from crest to crest?
Refraction
What is when a wave also bends when it passes from one medium to another at an angle?
Electromagnetic wave
What is a wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which radiate outward at the speed of light.
What is one example of diffraction?
What is you can hear sounds from another room when you are standing outside a rooms doorway?
