Physics Review for the GHSGT
Parts of a transverse wave
Longitudinal (compressional) Waves
Waves
Frequency and wavelength B C Frequency = cycles/ time Wavelength = length of wave A – Longest wavelength C – greatest frequency and energy v=fλ
Wave behavior
Constructive and destructive interference
How sound travels
Doppler Effect As a rapidly moving object approaches you, you hear a higher pitch because of the compressed sound waves causing a higher frequency. As the object speeds away from you the sound waves stretch out and you hear a lower pitch because of the lower frequency.
