Transcript of A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
A disturbance that transfers energy
from place to place.
Mechanical waves are created when a
source of energy causes a medium to
The highest part of a transverse
wave.
Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to
the direction in which the wave is
moving
The maximum distance that the
particles of a medium move from
the rest position
The distance between two
corresponding parts of a wave
The speed of a wave is its wavelength
multiplied by its
How does energy move through a
medium?
How are mechanical waves
classified?
Frequency is measured in units
called
What kind of wave causes the particles
in the medium to move to right angles to the direction the
wave is moving?
The ____________ of a mechanical wave is a direct measure of
its energy.
What do waves transfer?
Does this tell us the distance
between the two waves?
What is the difference between longitudinal waves
with different amplitudes?
The _______________ of a wave tells us the number of waves
that are produced in a certain amount of
time.
What is the frequency if three waves pass a point
every second?
What part of a longitudinal wave
is this?
Which has a shorter
wavelength?
What kind of wave carries energy through empty
space?
What is the “stuff” a wave
travels through?
Which has a larger amplitude?
What is an ocean wave’s medium?
How do longitudinal
waves move?
What part of a longitudinal wave
is this?
The particles in a medium
____________________ to pass the wave’s energy along.
What is the medium for the sound waves
that come from a musical instrument?
TRUE or FALSE:Although
mechanical waves travel through a medium, they do
not carry the medium with them.
Which of these show ONE full
wave?
One
wav
e ha
s
one c
rest
and
one tr
ough
What are the two types of waves?
In a transverse wave, the matter in
the wave moves _____________________.
What is the speed of the wave below?Wave speed = wavelength x frequency
Wavelength – 3 inches
Frequency – 8 Hz.
(8 waves pass every second)
Wave Speed = 24 inches/second
How do you find the wavelength of
a longitudinal wave?
Transverse waves create points called
_________ and __________ or high and low points in
the waves movement.
What part of a wave do these arrows show?
Resting Position
What is an example of a longitudinal
wave?
Which of these have a lower amplitude?
What is an example of a
transverse wave?
What is a vibration?
Can the medium a wave passes
through affect the wave’s speed?
What part of a wave are these
arrows showing?
____________ waves are waves that need a medium to travel
through.
What is the frequency if six
waves pass a point every three seconds?
What part of a longitudinal wave is
shown?
Parts where the coils in a
longitudinal waves are spread
out.
Which has a higher frequency?
Parts where the coils in a
longitudinal waves are close
together.
