WAVES

Question 1

Transverse Waves:

Answer 1

A transverse wave is an up and down movement which is often referred to as perpendicular which travels at a 90 degree angle. A real life example of this is a radio or light wave.

Question 2

Longitudinal Waves:

Answer 2

Longitudinal waves are a left and right movement which is referred to as a parrelel angle and travels at a 180 degree angle. When longitudinal waves have many particles in one area it is called compression, on the other hand when they are spread out, that term is defined as rarefaction. A real life example is a sound wave.

Question 3

Wavelength:

Answer 3

Wavelength is the height of the wave & are the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.

Question 4

Frequency:

Answer 4

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time; also, the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time by a body in periodic motion.

Question 5

Amplitude:

Answer 5

Amplitude is how big and tall a wave is. It is the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest. It can also be measured from the rest position to the trough position.

Question 6

What Is The Wave Equation?:

Answer 6

Wave Velocity = Frequency x WaveLength

Question 7

What Are The Units For Each Of The Values?:

Answer 7

Wave Speed = Frequency x WaveLength:
Wave Speed = (M/S)
Frequency = (HZ)
WaveLength = (M)
