The wave property that is related to the height of a wave is the
|
amplitude
|
|
|
The combining of waves as they overlap is known as
|
interference
|
|
|
When the crests of one wave overlap the crests of another wave or waves this occurs
|
constructive interference
|
|
|
how do waves transfer energy
|
by the vibration of particles in a medium
|
|
|
When two objects, such as marimba bars and columns, vibrate at the same frequency, what occurs
|
resonance
|
|
|
A wave can make a leaf bob up and down on the water, but it cannot move the leaf toward the shore. This is because waves only transfer
|
energy
|
|
|
As the wavelength increases, the frequency
|
decreases
|
|
|
When do you have more energy in a wave
|
at smaller wavelength
|
|
|
A section of a longitudinal wave where the particles are crowded together is called
|
compression
|
|
|
If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and you cut its frequency in half, what would happen to its wavelength?
|
The wavelength would be doubled
|
|
|
Which of these waves does not require a medium: ocean waves, seismic waves, sound waves, or radio waves.
|
radio waves
|
|
|
surface wave
|
a transverse and a longitudinal wave that combine at or near the boundary between two media
|
|
|
transverse wave
|
a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling
|
|
|
mechanical wave
|
a wave that requires a medium through wave which to travel
|
|
|
wave
|
a periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium
|
|
|
medium
|
a physical environment in which phenomena occur
|
|
|
electromagnetic wave
|
a wave that does not require a medium
|
|
|
longitudinal wave
|
a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave motion
|
|
|
diffraction
|
a change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds an obstacle or an edge
|
|
|
refraction
|
the bending of a wave as the wave passes between two substances in which the speed of the wave differs
|
|
|
reflection
|
the bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface that it does not go through
|
|
|
interference
|
the combination of two or more waves that result in a single wave
|
|
|
resonance
|
a phenomenon that occurs when tow objects naturally vibrate at the same frequency
|
|
|
Draw and Label the following
|
a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave
|
