What visible color is has the longest wavelength?
Red
when a wave strikes a surface and bounces off is called
What is reflection?
The measurement of a wave from the resting line to the crest.
Amplitude
EM waves are an example of this type of wave
What is a transverse wave?
If a wave has a velocity of 10m/s and has a wavelength of 2.2 m, what is the frequency?
4.54 Hz
What visible color has the shortest wavelength?
Purple/Violet
Every wave, regardless of type or medium, transfers this
What is energy?
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second.
What is frequency?
This type of wave perpendicular to how the wave is moving.
What is a transverse wave?
A wave has a speed of 150 cm/s and a wavelength of 2 meters, what is the frequency?
0.75 Hz
What are two types of waves we cannot see?
Infrared, ultraviolet, Gamma rays, Microwaves, X-rays, Radio waves
how a wave bends as it moves from one medium into another
Refraction
What is one wavelength on a longitudinal wave?
One compression and one rarefaction
This type of wave requires a medium and the energy moves in the same direction (parallel) to the medium
Compression
