learn about waves types (5-10th grade physics/science)

Question 1

what do you call a low frequency wave?

Answer 1

(Raido wave)

Question 2

what do you call a high frequency wave?

Answer 2

(decameter wave)

Question 3

what is a medium? (for waves)

Answer 3

(a medium is a thing the wave travels through such as a solid, liquid, gas)

Question 4

What is amplitude?

Answer 4

(the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its resting position)

Question 5

what do different waves have that are similar to each other?

Answer 5

(their shapes are alike)

Question 6

what is wavelength?

Answer 6

(Wavelength is the distance between identical points)

Question 7

what is a light wave?

Answer 7

(A light wave is an electromagnetic wave which travels through the vacuum of outer space)

Question 8

what is a sound wave?

Answer 8

(A sound wave is a pressure wave they can be thought of as fluctuations in pressure with respect to time)

Question 9

what is a longitudinal wave?

Answer 9

( A pressure wave)

Question 10

what is a transverse wave?

Answer 10

(transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave’s advance)

Question 11

what is a compressional wave?

Answer 11

(a longitudinal wave (such as a sound wave) propagated by the elastic compression of the medium)

Question 12

everything you need to know about waves

Answer 12

(In a wave phenomenon, energy can move from one location to another, yet the particles of matter in the medium return to their fixed position. A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position)

Question 13

what is refraction

Answer 13

(the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc. being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density)

Question 14

what is reflection

Answer 14

(he throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it)

Question 15

what is diffraction

Answer 15

(the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced)

Question 16

what is inference

Answer 16

(a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning)
