A wave is a disturbance that transfers ________ from one place to another.
Matter
Mass
Energy
The highest point on a transverse wave is the
compression
crest
rest position
trough
If the wavelength of a wave increased, what would happen to the frequency?
decrease
increase
stay the same
Mechanical waves usually travel fastest through:
solids
liquids
gases
Waves that require a material to travel though are called
electromagnetic waves
mechanical waves
ocean waves
transverse waves
I do not know and do not wish to answer.
The lowest point on a transverse wave is the
compression
crest
rest position
trough
The number of waves that pass somewhere in a second is:
amplitude
frequency
wavelength
#4 refers to the
wavelength
amplitude
crest
trough
#3 refers to the
wavelength
amplitude
crest
trough
Longitudinal waves have:
crests and troughs
crests and compressions
compressions and rarefactions
troughs and rarefactions
Transverse waves have:
crests and troughs
troughs and rarefactions
compressions and contractions
rarefactions and crests
Transverse waves move mediums
at a right angle
in a circle
and matter too
at an acute angle
Longitudinal waves move:
at a right angle compared to the direction the wave is traveling
in a circle compared to the direction the wave is traveling
matter
in the same direction as the wave is traveling
What is the relation between the frequency of electromagnetic waves and their wavelength?
Higher frequency= Higher wavelength
Higher frequency= Lower wavelength
Lower frequency = Lower wavelength
Which wave has more energy? Why?
Top wave because the amplitude is smaller
Bottom wave because the amplitude is larger
They are the same because the wavelengths are equal
The measurement for Frequency is...
Cycle
Meters
Hertz
Seconds
The acceleration of a particle in SHM is:
always zero
always constant
maximum at amplitude
maximum at the equilibrium position
When is the pendulum at maximum velocity
At its lowest point
At its highest point
It moves at a constant velocity
It is at rest
Position at which the body would come to rest if it were to lose all of its energy refers to
equilibrium position
maximum displacement / amplitude
periodic position
good position
The number of cycles or oscillation made in one second is defined as
time taken
period
frequency
amplitude
In SHM, where does maximum velocity take place ?
At maximum displacement
at the equilibrium position
there is no maximum velocity
