Properties Of Waves

Question 0

What are transverse waves

Answer 0

Particles which move perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer

Question 1

What are waves

Answer 1

A transfer of energy NOT MATTER through oscillations

Question 2

What is the peak of a

Answer 2

Top of a wave

Question 3

What is the trough

Answer 3

Lowest point of a wave

Question 4

Wavelength

Answer 4

Distance between two successive points if a wave

Question 5

What is amplitude

Answer 5

Distance from the undos turned position to the peak / trough

Question 6

What is frequency

Answer 6

Number if waves per second

Question 7

Time period

Answer 7

The time is takes for one

Question 8

How can you work out frequency

Answer 8

Frequency = 1/time period

Question 9

How do you work out wave speed

Answer 9

Wave speed = frequency x wave length

V = f x lamda

Question 10

What is a longitudinal wave

Answer 10

Particles vibrate parallel to the direction of energy transfer eg sound

Question 11

What is an example of a transverse wave

Answer 11

Light

Question 12

What is a compression

Answer 12

A region of high pressure

Question 13

What is a rare fraction

Answer 13

A region of low pressure

Question 14

What is a wavelength

Answer 14

Shortest distance between two parts if a wave which are in a phase

Question 15

What is diffraction

Answer 15

The spreading out of waves when thy encounter obstacles

Question 16

Diffraction is most noticeable when…

Answer 16

The wavelength his approx the size of the gap

Question 17

The higher the … The more diffraction

Answer 17

Wavelength
