Front

What is a wave?

Back

A wave can be defined as any disturbance that transmits energy.

Front

Which type of wave does NOT require a medium to travel?

Back

Electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is an example of a longitudinal wave?

Back

Sound waves.

Front

What features do longitudinal waves have?

Back

Compressions and rarefactions.

Front

What is an example of a transverse wave?

Back

Light waves.

Front

What is the definition of a mechanical wave?

Back

A mechanical wave is a wave that requires a medium to travel through.

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer.

Front

What is a compression in a longitudinal wave?

Back

A compression is a region where particles are close together.

Front

What is a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?

Back

A rarefaction is a region where particles are spread apart.

Front

What is an example of a medium for sound waves?

Back
