Semester 2 Study Guide Flashcards
1
Q
Give an example of a transverse wave and describe the different parts of the wave
A
Waves in the water
2
Q
Give an example of a compressional wave and describe the parts of the wave
A
A sound wave, and compressional wave parts are wavelength, which is the length between the waves, the refraction which is where it’s spread apart, the compression which is where it’s squeezed together
3
Q
The sun shines through a light rain creating a rainbow. What property of light waves is being demonstrated. Explain your answer
A
Color
4
Q
Explain how the wavelength and frequency of a wave are related to the amount of energy in a wave
A
The smaller the wave, the higher the frequency and higher amount of energy
