Waves and Energy Transfer Topic 3/Exp.3

Front

What type of wave is characterized by particle displacement parallel to the direction of wave propagation?

Back

Longitudinal wave.

Front

What is the definition of a force in physics?

Back

A push or pull.

Front

How does sound travel through a medium like air?

Back

Sound travels as a longitudinal wave, causing energy to move away from a vibrating object.

Front

In what direction do particles move in a longitudinal wave?

Back

Particles move parallel to the direction of energy transfer.

Front

What is the definition of a wave?

Back

A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another.

Front

What is the difference between longitudinal waves and transverse waves?

Back

In longitudinal waves, particle displacement is parallel to wave direction; in transverse waves, it is perpendicular.

Front

Can you give an example of a longitudinal wave?

Back

Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.

Front

What is the role of a medium in wave propagation?

Back

A medium is the substance through which a wave travels, such as air, water, or solid materials.

Front

What happens to the energy of a wave as it travels through a medium?

Back

The energy is transferred from one particle to another, allowing the wave to propagate.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of particles from their rest position in a wave.
