They're phonetic waves
Which wave in the diagram has the greatest frequency?
1
2
3
4
What is crest?
is the lowest point of a transverse wave
is the midpoint point of a transverse wave
is the highest point of a transverse wave
What are the two kinds of waves?
mechanical and electronic
long and short
mechanical and electromagnetic
What is a wave?
a disturbance that transfers energy
any type of energy that makes particles move
any type of matter that vibrates back and forth
Testing a hypothesis often involves a(n):
Experiment
safety check
problem
What will your new project be about?
Landmarks
Health
Both answers are correct
Waves carry Matter, but not energy from place to place
False
True
Wave is any type of energy that makes particles move
False
True
Your new project is about health?
False
True
You use the scientific method all the time to solve everyday problems.
True
False
These waves need a medium to move through
electromagnetic
mechanical
electronical
How are electromagnetic waves different from mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through; mechanical waves don't.
Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space; mechanical waves can't.
Both answers are correct
What type of waves carry energy at a right angle to the direction of the energy flow?
Sound waves
Transverse waves
Compression waves
Electromagnetic energy travels in waves. These waves can vary in their frequencies and wavelengths. Electromagnetic energy is classified by the length and frequency of its wave. Of the four wave types below, which has the highest frequency?
Infrared waves
Microwaves
gamma rays
Frequency is...
the number of waves that pass a given point in one hour
the number of waves that pass a given point in one minute
the number of waves that pass a given point in one second
How does a longitudinal wave tend to move?
up and down
back and forth
Both answers are correct
What medium do seismic waves travel through?
Water
The ground
The air
Through which of these mediums do sound waves travel most slowly?
Cold Air
Wood
Iron
Is the summary at the end of an experiment that explains the results?
Procedures
Materials
Conclusion
