Waves 1
Waves carry __________
What is energy?
A wave is soaked up by an object or medium.
What is absorbed?
Carbon is number 6 on the periodic table of elements. How many protons does it have?
What is 6?
The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough
What is wavelength?
What happens to the frequency and energy of a wave when the wavelength gets longer?
Frequency becomes lower; energy becomes lower
This type of wave vibrates matter perpendicular to how the wave is moving.
What is a transverse wave?
A wave moves through an object or medium.
What is the transmit?
A chemical reaction takes place when atoms are rearranged into new ________ .
What are molecules?
The height of a wave from resting position
What is amplitude?
If a wave has high energy, it has ___________ amplitude.
What is high amplitude?
This type of wave does not need matter to transfer energy.
What is an electromagnetic wave?
A wave that bounces back from a surface
What is the reflected?
I put baking soda in vinegar, and it starts bubbling. I know this is a chemical reaction because...
What is making a gas?
The peak, or highest point of a wave
What is a crest?
A material that mechanical wave needs to travel through
What is a medium?
A wave that travels only through matter.
What are mechanical waves?
Waves travel slowest through this medium.
What is a gas?
As something falls, it is gaining more...
What is kinetic energy?
The valley, or lowest part of a wave
What is a trough?
Created from friction between water and wind
What are water waves?
A type of wave that travels parallel to the motion of the wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
Waves travel fastest through this medium.
What is a solid?
As a substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas, the speed of the molecules __________.
What is increases?
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second.
What is frequency?
Name two types of waves in nature
What are water waves and seismic waves?
