waves

Question 1

what happens in transversal waves?

Answer 1

the oscillations are perpendicular to energy transfer

Question 2

what happens in longitudinal waves?

Answer 2

the oscillations are parallel to envers transfer

Question 3

what waves are transversal?

Answer 3

electromagnetic waves

Question 4

what waves are longitudinal?

Answer 4

sound waves

Question 5

what is the angle rule?

Answer 5

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

Question 6

what is diffuse reflection?

Answer 6

when waves is reflected on rough surface and is scattered in lots of different directions

Question 7

what is speculation reflection?

Answer 7

when light is reflected on a smooth surface and you get clear reflection

Question 8

what is a p wave?

Answer 8

• primary wave

* longitudinal

Question 9

what is an s wave?

Answer 9

• secondary wave

* transversal

Question 10

what can a p wave travel through?

Answer 10

solid and liquid

Question 11

what can a s wave travel through?

Answer 11

solid

Question 12

how does sound reach ear?

Answer 12

• the wave vibrates air partials

* eye drum picks up vibrations and turns it into sound which can be interpreted
