Wave calculations
If the amplitude is high, the volume is...
High
sound waves cannot carry energy through this
A vacuum/space
The distance from crest to crest
What is wavelength?
A category of waves that can travel through a medium or a vacuum
Electromagnetic wave
High frequency waves have _______ pitch
High
What is it called when two waves interact with each other.
Interference
The lowest point of a transverse wave
What is the trough?
Water waves are an example of this type of wave
What is a transverse wave?
If the wavelength is 20m and has a frequency of .2 Hz, what is the velocity?
4m/s
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
This type of wave requires a medium and the energy moves in the same direction (parallel) to the medium
Compression
If the velocity is 10m/s, and a frequency of .5 hz. What is the wavelength
20m
A wave travels from one medium to another
What is Transmission?
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second.
What is frequency?
This type of wave vibrates matter in the same direction from how the wave is moving.
What is a longitudinal wave?
The wavelength is 2m and a speed of 5 m/s. What is its frequency
2.5 Hz
how a wave bends as it moves from one medium into another
Diffraction
The points where the particles are closest in a longitudinal wave
Compression
Transverse waves move ____________ to the direction of energy transferred.
What is perpendicular?
