Q2 Review Material - Waves

When a wave is created and moves from one place to the next, the water particles: 

• move up and down
• move from one place to the next
• do not move at all

How do sound waves transfer energy?

• vibrating particles stop vibrating
• vibrating particles make other particles vibrate
• jump through space

Two wave categories

• mechanical and potential
• mechanical and electromagnetic
• potential and kinetic

Two wave directions

• transverse and straight
• straight and longitudinal
• transverse and longitudinal

Transverse wave example

• sound waves from a drum
• light waves from the sun

High pitch is related to

• high amplitude
• low amplitude
• high frequency
• low frequency

Loud sounds are related to 

• high amplitude
• low amplitude
• high frequency
• low frequency

As energy of sound wave increases the sound gets

• louder
• softer
• stays the same

Which shows the amplitude?

• A
• B
• C

Which shows wavelength?

• A
• B
• C
