Waves

Question 1

Transverse

Answer 1

Perpendicular to vibration

Question 2

Longitudinal

Answer 2

Parallel to direction wave travels

Question 3

Transverse waves ex

Answer 3

Ripples on water surface, vibrations in guitar string p, electromagnetic wave.

Question 4

What does a longitudinal wave show

Answer 4

Compression and rare fraction

Question 5

What are sound waves

Answer 5

Longitudinal p, travel through air

Question 6

Amplitude of wave

Answer 6

maximum displacement of a point on a wave away from
its undisturbed position

Question 7

Wavelength

Answer 7

is the distance from a point on one wave to the equivalent
point on the adjacent wave.

Question 8

Frequency

Answer 8

number of waves passing a point each second.

Question 9

Period equation

Answer 9

Period = 1/ frequency

Question 10

Wave equation

Answer 10

Wave speed = frequency x wavelength

Question 11

Difference in transverse and longitudinal

Answer 11

Transverse waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Longitudinal waves cause the medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave.
