1- What is the “stuff” a wave travels through? medium
2- What kind of wave carries energy through empty space? Electromagnetic
3- The particles in a medium bump into each other to pass ___________along. Energy
4- What is the medium for the sound waves that come from a musical instrument? Air
5- What is an example of a longitudinal wave? Sound
6- What kind of wave causes the particles in the medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving? transverse
7- Describe the green wave compared to the blue wave (wavelength, amplitude, frequency) Green wave has shorter wavelength Green wave has smaller amplitude Green wave has greater frequency
8- What is an example of a transverse wave? Light
9- Type of waves that require a medium to transmit their energy mechanical
10- Frequency is measured in units called Hertz
11- A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. wave
12- The speed of a wave = wavelength x ??? frequency
13- Waves with _________ amplitude have more energy. Greater
14- How do you find the wavelength of a longitudinal wave? Measure from compression to compression or rarefaction to rarefaction.
15- Which of these have a lower amplitude?
16- What is the frequency if eight waves pass a point every four seconds? 2 Hz.
17- Waves with _________ wavelength have more energy. Shorter
18- What is the speed of the wave below? Wave speed = wavelength x frequency Wavelength – 3 inches Wave Speed = 24 inches/second Frequency – 8 Hz. (8 waves pass every second)
19- The _______________ of a wave tells us the number of waves that are produced in a certain amount of time. Frequency
20- Which has a higher frequency?
21- Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the wave is moving longitudinal
22- Which has a larger amplitude?
23- Waves with _________ frequency have more energy. Higher
