Give an example of a transverse wave and describe the different parts of the wave
Ocean wave : Parts :1. wavelength the height of the wave or length. Amplitude the height of the wave from the center line. The frequency of a wave is how many waves come in a period of time.
Give an example of a compressional wave and describe the parts of the wave.
Sound waves :. Wavelength. rarefaction area of decreased pressure following compression as a longitudinal wave propagates
The sun shines through a light rain creating a rainbow. What property of light waves is being demonstrated. Explain your answer.
Refraction when the light goes into the rain drops it gets diffracted and ti makes the appearance of a rainbow
Explain how the wavelength and frequency of a wave are related to the amount of energy in a wave.
The leangth of the wave how big it is and how many there is in a period of time. Equal energy
