Waves

How are waves created?

• *Ocean crashing noises*

• something that sends things

• When an object oscillates, and the energy is transmitted through a medium or field.

• Ocean man, take me by the hand.

What is a medium?

• The energy the wave is transmitting

• The value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample

• The material the wave travels in

• The space the wave travels in

Answer explanation

The medium is the material a wave travels in. The field is the space that a wave travels in.

What happens to a medium/field's particles when a wave travels through it?

• They are the wave

• They become one with the wave

• They move in the direction of the wave

• They move around a central point in a pattern

What is a field?

• The energy the waves are transmitting

• A place to play sports

• The space a wave travels in

• The material a wave travels in

Answer explanation

The medium is the material a wave travels in. The field is the space that a wave travels in.

I said this before, haven't I?

How does a pulse differ from a continuous wave?

• A pulse is a single vibration, whereas a continuous wave is an ongoing oscillation

• Pulse? Continuous waves?

• A continuous wave is a single vibration, whereas a pulse is an ongoing oscillation

• A continuous wave is a single vibration, whereas a pulse is the number of times your heart beats per minute.

Define amplitude accurately

• The maximum motion distance of particles of the medium from the center point

• The length of one wave from one point to the next corresponding point.

• The time for one oscillation of the wave source

• Number of oscillations per second

Define wavelength accurately

• Number of oscillations per second

• The maximum motion distance of particles of the medium from the center point

• The length of one wave from one point to the next corresponding point

• Number of oscillations per second

Define period accurately

• The time for one oscillation of the wave source

• Number of oscillations per second

• The maximum motion distance of particles of the medium from the center point

• The length of one wave from one point to the next corresponding point.

Define frequency accurately

• The time for one oscillation of the wave source

• The maximum motion distance of particles of the medium from the center point

• The length of one wave from one point to the next corresponding point.

• Number of oscillations per second

• The quadratic formula

• The wave speed

• The relationship between period and frequency

• Equations? Frequency?
