Exit Ticket - Wave Types

Front

What is 'wind duration'?

Back

The time period over which wind blows.

Front

What characterizes constructive interference?

Back

Waves are in-phase.

Front

What type of interference occurs with in-phase wave trains with similar wavelengths?

Back

Constructive interference.

Front

What happens to wave height as waves approach the shore?

Back

Wave height increases.

Front

What is the primary role of wind speed in wave energy?

Back

It increases wave energy.

Front

Define 'wave height'.

Back

The vertical distance between the crest and trough of a wave.

Front

What is 'destructive interference'?

Back

When two waves are out-of-phase, resulting in a reduction in wave height.

Front

Explain the term 'wave energy'.

Back

The energy carried by waves, primarily influenced by wind speed and wave height.

Front

What is the relationship between wind speed and wave formation?

Back

Higher wind speeds lead to larger and more energetic waves.

Front

Define 'crest' in the context of waves.

Back

The highest point of a wave.
