18
Q

What happens to waves when it refracts

A

Wavelength and frequencies change

19
Q

Differences between myopia and hyperopia

A

Myopia short sighted can see stuff close to the other one is long sighted can see stuff far away from them

20
Q

Wavelength of high and low pitch

A

High has long frequencies
Low has short frequencies

21

Two uses of em spectrum

A

X rays see internal structures
Microwaves for cooking

22
Q

Amplitude

A

The height from rest to the topos wave

23
Q

Wavelength

A

Length wave from one point of the wave to the same point of the other wave

24
Q

50 hz meaning

A

50 vibrations per sec

25
Q

Longitudinal

A

Vibration is parallel to energy transfer

26
Q

Transverse

A

Vibration Perpendicular to energy transfer

27
Q

Equation for frequency wavelength and wave speed

A

v = f λ .

28
Q

I wouldn’t say that the ways are in the Water moving not the water that

A

When the rubber duck thing is moving in the water is up and down not side to side

29
Q

What’s an ultrasound

A

Medical imaging shattering of kidney stones

30
Q

What is the wave equation

A

Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
