What are waves? a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. Classified as either 1. Mechanical- require a medium 2. Electromagnetic- do not.

Characteristics of Waves

What is a wave? Wave – a disturbance or oscillation that travels from one place to another.

Types of Waves and Wave Properties. Mechanical Waves What is a mechanical wave? A rhythmic disturbance that allows energy to be transferred through matter.

Energy Transfer - Waves. Waves A wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space. Energy can be carried away from it’s source.

WAVES Regular, Rhythmic disturbance in a field or medium where a transfer of energy occurs.

Waves and Wave Properties. A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from place to place. A wave does NOT carry matter with it! It just moves the matter.

Wave are oscillations (repeating disturbance or movement) that transfers energy through matter or space. Wave- energy transfer due to the movement due.

The Nature of Waves What is a wave? A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space.

Types of Waves and Wave Characteristics Review

. Which of the following is not a type of electromagnetic wave? A. sound B. red light C. gamma radiation D. radio waves

The material that a wave travels through is called the A. amplitude B. medium C. rarefaction D. compression

As the frequency of a spring wave is increased, the _____________ A. velocity decreases B. velocity increases C. wavelength decreases D. wavelength increases

As you produce a wave on a spring, which of the following quantities are you NOT able to change? A. amplitude B. frequency C. velocity D. wavelength

All waves except ______ waves must travel through a medium. A. sound B. light C. water D. compressional

By counting the number of crests that pass in a given amount of time, a person can calculate the A. wavelength B. amplitude C. velocity D. frequency

When the particles of the medium are displaced parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave, it is called a ___________. a.Water wave b. Ultrasonic wave c. Transverse wave d.Longitudinal wave

Which of the following is the definition of amplitude The maximum displacement from the rest position. The total distance traveled by the wave in one full cycle. The energy reflected by a fixed medium. The lowest frequency that produces a standing wave.

What is a transverse wave? The rate with which the amplitude of the wave pulsates. The disturbance of the particles is in the same direction as the movement of the wave. A wave of alternating lower and higher pressure. The particles of the medium that are displaced perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Sound waves are ___________ waves. A. Transverse B. ocean C. salt D. longitudinal

Sound waves from a radio generally travel in which medium? a. air b. earth c. light d. solid

. If a transverse wave is moving from right to left, the individual particles in the medium are moving a. right to left. b. left to right. c. up and down. d. None of the above

Waves are often caused by a. potential energy. b. mechanical energy. c. colliding objects. d. vibrating objects.

If the speed of a wave is 16 m/s and the wavelength is 4m, what is the frequency of the wave? 16 Hz 16 m/s 4 m/s 4 Hz

A ripple tank is a shallow container of water used to demonstrate the properties of a wave. Giselle tossed a pebble into the tank and counted the wave crests as they passed by a certain point. She counted 10 waves in 20 seconds. Calculate the frequency of the wave in Hertz. .5 Hz .5 m/s 200 Hz 200 m/s

A girl sitting on a beach counts 6 waves pass a buoy in 3 seconds A girl sitting on a beach counts 6 waves pass a buoy in 3 seconds. She measured the distance between the waves to be 1.5m. What is the speed of the waves the girl observed? 1.3 m/s 3 m/s 1.3 m 3 m
