Wave Properties Flashcards
Waves transfer … from place to place without transferring matter.
.
Answer
There are two types of waves. What are they called?
What is a longitudunal wave?
What is a transverse wave?
What type of wave is light?
What type of wave is sound?
The vibrations in a longitudinal wave are … to the direction the wave is travelling in.
A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where …
A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where
What are 2 features of a longitudinal wave?
The vibrations in a transverse wave are … to the direction the wave is travelling in.
Which letter is pointing to a trough on the transverse wave shown?
Which letter is pointing to a peak in the transverse wave shown?
The diagram shows a transverse wave. Which arrow shows the wavelength of the wave?
A wave with a short wavelength has a … frequency
Which trace shows two complete waves?
Which arrow shows the amplitude of the wave?
Which trace shows the wave with the smallest amplitude?
What is the frequency of a wave?
Which diagram shows the wave with the highest frequency?
Which trace shows the wave of the sound that has the loudest volume?
How would increasing the amplitude affect the height of the wave and the number of waves?
How would decreasing the amplitude affect the height of the wave and the number of waves?
The equipment shown can be used to produce a stationary wave in a string. Is the wave produced - a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
How many complete waves are represented in the diagram?
In metres, what is the wavelength of the waves shown in the image?
The frequency of the waves in the string is 110 Hz. Calculate the wave speed in metres per second.
The vibrations producing a light wave are … to the direction of the energy transfer by the light wave.
The image shows two stationary waves. Name one wave quantity that is the same for both waves.
