Waves

Question 1

Transverse wave

Answer 1

• Transvers waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
• An example of a transverse wave is ripples in water.(Another example is light)

Question 2

Longitudinal wave

Answer 2

• Longditudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
• An example of a longitudinal wave is sound.
• energy moves constantly to the right

Question 3

High frequency

Answer 3

The frequency of a wave is the number of waves past apoint each second.

Question 4

Low frequency

Answer 4

The higher the frequency the more waves are squaished into the same time period.

Hz (Hertz)

Question 7

What is wavelength mesuured by

Answer 7

M (meters)
