Which is true for Electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic Waves do
NOT need a medium to travel
through
Electromagnetic Waves do need a medium to travel through
Electromagnetic waves carry matter
Electromagnetic waves fall on a spectrum called the wave spectrum.
All of these are examples of Electromagnetic waves.
x-rays, p-waves, s-waves and y-waves
infrared radiation, ultra violet, radioactive, -rays
microwaves, p-waves, s-waves, infrared radiation
visible light, infrared radiation, x-rays, radio waves, microwaves
radio waves, ocean waves, infrared radiation, x-rays, s-waves
Electromagnetic ways are always mechanical waves.
True
False
This is an example of a(n) wave
Longitudinal Waves
Transverse
Mechanical
Electromagnetic wave
What is a wave?
A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy through matter
A wave is the force used to create motion
A wave is any vibration
Wave can pull an object out to sea.
No because waves only carry energy, not matter! Once the wave has moved, the disturbance is gone. The object will remain in place.
Yes, because waves move matter and once the waves has moved on the object will continue to move with the disturbance.
No because waves are invisible and cannot move objects.
Yes, because waves apply a force to the object and it moves in the direction of the force.
How do waves travel?
Waves travel through a vacuum and matter.
Mediums slow waves down and you should avoid them.
A wave must have MATTER to travel through.
The matter through which a wave travels is called a MEDIUM
Waves use energy to move across space and time
Types of Mechanical Waves are
sound, air, water, ropes, earthquakes, tsunami waves
liquid, gases, solids
ocean waves, radio waves, stomach growling
drumming, singing, stomping, yelling,
Mechanical Waves need a medium to travel through.
False
True
Mechanical Waves can be
Transverse or Longitudinal
Magnetic or Electrical
Longitudinal or Latitudinal
kinetic or potential
What are the two types of wave characteristics in a longitudinal wave.
rarefaction and compression
compression and amplitude
refraction and rarefaction
induction and deduction
Longitudinal Waves particles move
back and forth
up and down
side to side
perpendicular and parallel
Waves in which the particles vibrate in an up and down motion are?
traverse waves
longitudinal waves
electromagnetic waves
plasma waves
Wavelength is the distance between
two crest or two trough
two compressions
between a compression and rarefacton
a crest and a trough
What are the properties of a wave?
Amplitude, multitude, size and speed
Wave Length, motion, speed, size
Frequency, Wave Speed, Length
Amplitude, Wave Length, Frequency, Wave Speed
Frequency is
how fast or slow a wave is traveling
the number of waves produced in a given amount of time
the number of crest or troughs
the number of cycles in a hertz
Amplitude is
the height of the wave
the length of the wave
the time of a wave
how fast the wave is moving
The distance between 2 crests or troughs is
wavelength
wave height
amplitude
frequency
The speed at which waves travel through a medium is
wave length
wave speed
wave cycle
frequency
The higher the amplitude the more
force
energy
frequency
light
The shorter the wave the more
rarefactuib
motion
energy
frequency
What is reflection?
Reflection is a mechanical wave
Reflection is what happens when a wave is transmitted through a substance
reflection is when a wave bounces
Reflection happens when a wave bounces back after hitting a barrier.
This is an example of what?
Refraction
Reflection
Refraction and Dispersed
Reflected and refracted
When a light wave bends around a barrier or through an opening it is known as
displacement
diffraction
dispersement
refraction
Refraction is
the angle of incidence at which light reflects
the bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another at an angle
What happens when light passes through a mirror
I don't know
Interference happens when
waves overlap
waves disperse
waves intercept
waves pass by each other
Resonance is
a vibration
two vibrations
a vibration produced in one object that is caused by the vibration from another
vibrations that intercept each other
