Making Waves Activities Exit Ticket

When you created wave pulses, what happened to the wave when it reached the person holding the other end of the rope?

• The wave is absorbed by the person holding the other end of the rope.

• The wave reflects back.

• The wave stops moving.

• The wave continues in the same direction.

How can you increase the frequency of the wave you’re making?

• By increasing the amplitude

• By increasing the wavelength

• By increasing the speed

• By decreasing the amplitude

How you can tell transverse and longitudinal waves apart?

• Transverse waves move perpendicular to wave direction; longitudinal waves move parallel.

• Longitudinal waves have higher frequency than transverse waves.
• Transverse waves can only travel through solids, while longitudinal waves can travel through all states of matter.
• Transverse waves travel faster than longitudinal waves.

When you created waves with larger amplitude, what happened to the amount of energy needed to make the wave?

• The amount of energy needed increased.

• The amount of energy needed decreased.

• The amount of energy needed stayed the same.

• The amount of energy needed fluctuated.

If you placed a small piece of paper on the Slinky while making a transverse wave, would the paper move along with the wave all the way to the other end of the Slinky?

• Yes, the paper would move along with the wave.

• No, the paper would not move along with the wave, it would only move up and down.

• Yes, the paper would move along with the wave because the energy carries it with it.

• No, the paper would not move along with the wave, it would only move left and right.

Which wave has a higher amplitude and why?

• The top wave because because it's traveling faster

• The bottom wave because its compressions are more dense

• The top wave because it has a bigger wavelength

• The bottom wave because it has a higher frequency
