Wave to Me
Which type of wave moves matter forward and backward in the medium in the same direction as the wave?
What is a Longitudinal Wave?
As amplitude of a wave increases, this quantity increases.
What is energy or intensity?
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second
What is frequency?
As tension of a wave increases the speed of the wave...
What is increases?
The high point of a transverse wave
What is the crest?
This occurs when a transverse standing wave reaches its largest amplitude
What is antinode?
What is the region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are close together?
What is compression?
How fast a wave travels
What is wave speed or velocity?
Type of wave that is emitted from the Sun and does not need a medium to travel
What is electromagnetic?
The relationship between frequency and wavelength.
What is inverse?
A type of wave that does not need matter to transfer energy
What is electromagnetic?
The distance between two like points in a wave
What is wavelength?
The matter that mechanical waves travel through
What is medium?
The measure of how high or low a wave is
What is amplitude?
The region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread out
What is rarefaction?
High frequency waves have _______ wavelengths.
What is short wavelengths?
The main type of wave that uses matter to transfer energy
What is mechanical wave?
Interference of a wave bending as it passes from one medium to another
What is refraction?
The low point of a transverse wave
What is the trough?
The type of wave that moves matter in right angles to the direction of the wave
