Unit 4 Review

Transverse and Longitudinal Waves vocabulary matching

• Medium

• A wave that moves in the same direction as the displacement of the transmitting medium

• Longitudinal wave

• A wave that moves perpendicular to the displacement of the transmitting medium

• Transverse wave

• The movement of energy from one system to another

• Crest

• The highest part of a wave

• Energy Transfer

• The material through which a wave travels

• 1. A.Wave A is transverse. Wave B is longitudinal. In transverse waves, the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave, and in longitudinal waves, the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. 

• 1. B. Wave A is longitudinal. Wave B is transverse. In transverse waves, the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave, and in longitudinal waves, the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave. 

• 1. C. Wave A is longitudinal. Wave B is transverse. In transverse waves, the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave and in longitudinal waves, the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. 

• 1. D. Wave A is transverse. Wave B is longitudinal. In transverse waves, the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave and in longitudinal waves, the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave.

• infrared waves

• radio waves

A student ties one end of a rope to a hook on a wall. The other end of the rope is moved up and down, creating a transverse wave. Which statement describes the movement of matter and energy in the rope?

• A

  Both energy and matter are transmitted down the rope.

• B

  Neither matter nor energy is transmitted down the rope.

• C

  Matter is transmitted down the rope, but energy is not.

• D

  Energy is transmitted down the rope, but matter is not.

What do both transverse waves and longitudinal waves have in common?

Select two correct answers.

• Both are oscillations that repeat themselves over and over.

• Neither has been found to be useful in medicine.

• a. solid only

• b. liquids only

• c. gases only

• d. solids, liquids, and gases
