When waves travel through a medium, the particles of the medium do what?
|
Oscillate and transfer energy between each other.
|
|
|
Overall, do the particles of sound waves move? True or False?
|
False, they stay in the same place overall.
|
|
|
The amplitude of a wave is the what of a point on a wave from its what?
|
Maximum displacement and undisturbed position.
|
|
|
The wavelength is the distance between the same point on two adjacent waves. True of false?
|
True.
|
|
|
Frequency is the number of complete waves passing a certain point per minute. True or false?
|
False, Frequency is the number of complete waves passing through a certain point per second, not minute.
|
|
|
What are the two wave types?
|
Transverse and longitudinal.
|
|
|
What direction does a transverse wave oscillate?(a spring moved side to side can create this effect.) |
Perpendicular.
|
|
|
What direction do longitudinal waves move? (a spring pushed together can create this effect.) |
Parallel.
|
|
|
Name the equation for waves.
|
Wave speed = Frequency x Wavelength.
|
|
|
State whether water waves are transverse or longitudinal.
|
Transverse.
|
|
|
If the frequency of the wave doubles but it's speed stays the same, describe what will happen to it's wavelength.
|
The wavelength will half.
