highest point on a wave
crest
wavelength
crast
amplitude
what facts about waves are TRUE
A wave does not transfer matter
A wave can transfer matter
A wave has a resting point
A wave can go faster in gases
What is a example of a longitudinal waves
slinky
rope
Surface ripples on water,
vibrations in a guitar string
what is a wave
a repeating disturbance that carries energy through matter or space
an irregular movement of energy across a space
A wave is a traveling disturbance that moves through space and matter.
the movement of energy and matter from one location to another
What kind of waves can travel in space?
light waves
sound waves
Neither a or b
Both a and b
Which statement best describes the movement of a compressional/longitudinal wave?
Particles of the medium move in the same direction of the wave's movement.
Particles of the medium circle around the direction of the wave's movement.
Particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's movement.
Particles of the medium radiate outward compared to the wave's movement.
What is amplitude
the height of a wave
the length of a wave
the speed of a wave
the number of wave cycles a wave completes in one second
What do you call the region labeled A in the diagram below
amplitude
wavelength
frequency
phase
A wave that moves at right angles to the direction it travels in.
compressional/longitudinal
transverse
You would not be able to hear any sound in space because...
Things are not loud enough in space.
You cannot hear or see in space.
There is no air in space.
what equation calculate velocity?
velocity(y)=Ampliude(A)÷wave properties(α)
both are incorrect
velocity (y)=wavelength (λ)× frequency (f)
velocity(y)= crest (c)×wavewength(λ)
How many wave cycles are shown in the graph below?
2
1
4
3
If you were to push one end of the slinky on the floor...
Transverse waves will form
Compressional/longitudinal waves will form
Nothing would happened
none of them are correct
Why would a person playing outfield in a baseball game will see the ball hit that bat before they hear it
Sound travels faster than light
The player is not listening.
Light travels faster than sound.
The player is too far from the ball and bat.
What wave is this
Longitudinal wave
Electromagnetic wave
Mechanical wave
transverse wave
What is frequency?
describes the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time. So if the time it takes for a wave to pass is is 1/2 second, the frequency is 2 per second. If it takes 1/100 of an hour, the frequency is 100 per hour.
the measurable amount of a property, such as force, brightness, or a magnetic field.
that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.
the distance between identical points (adjacent crests) in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or along a wire.
what a period on waves
a period is to mark the time it take to complete a cycle
a period is to mark the time it take for a wave to go down
