Waves- Science

Front

What is a translucent object?

Back

A translucent object allows a few light waves to pass through it.

Front

Which wave has the lowest frequency?

Back

Wave C has the lowest frequency.

Front

What does it mean to refract?

Back

To refract means to bend.

Front

How does high frequency affect energy transfer?

Back

High frequency waves transfer MORE energy than low frequency waves.

Front

What type of waves are used in broadcasting?

Back

Radio waves are used in broadcasting.

Front

Define a wave.

Back

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.

Front

What are the two main types of waves?

Back

The two main types of waves are mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?

Back

In a transverse wave, the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while in a longitudinal wave, the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests or troughs of a wave.

Front

What is frequency?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second.
