Wave Properties and Effects

Front

Factors affecting the speed of a wave

Back

The medium it travels through.

Front

The distance between two crests or troughs on a wave is called

Back

Wavelength.

Front

The effect of higher frequency waves on living tissue

Back

The higher the frequency of the wave, the greater the likelihood it will cause damage to living tissue.

Front

Waves transfer energy.

Back

Options: A. matter, B. medium, C. energy, D. water

Front

The primary difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is the direction of particle movement relative to wave propagation.

Back

Options: A. The direction of particle movement relative to wave propagation, B. The speed at which they travel, C. The amount of energy they carry, D. The medium through which they travel.

Front

If the mass of the object was doubled and the force remained the same, what would happen to the acceleration?

Back

It would be halved.

Front

A heavyweight boxer winds up and punches a punching bag.

Back

The force acting on the bag is equal and opposite to the force acting on the fist.
