What is a wave?, A rhythmic disturbance that moves matter through a medium or vacuum., A rhythmic disturbance that moves energy through a medium or a vacuum., A rhythmic disturbance that moves matter and energy through a medium or vacuum., What is a medium? , The material through which a wave travels, A wave with a high amplitude and a low frequency, A rhythmic disturbance that moves through a medium or a vacuum, A student measured the distance from one crest of a wave to another. What is the student measuring?, Wavelength, Frequency, Amplitude, A student measured the distance from one crest of a wave to its midpoint/resting position. What is the student measuring?, Wavelength, Frequency, Amplitude, Which of the following waves has the HIGHEST frequency?, Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3, Which of the following waves has the SHORTEST wavelength?, Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3, Which of the following waves has the HIGHEST amplitude?, Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3, Which of the following waves has the HIGH frequency LOW amplitude?, Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3, A musician recorded the frequency of his notes while playing a concert. What was he measuring and what did he use for his measurement?, The # of times a wave cycles past a point in a second - Hertz, The distance from the midpoint to the crest - Centimeters, The # of times a wave cycles past a point - Centimeters, A scientist noticed that she could not hear the sound of a hammer hitting metal outside of the International Station. Why is this?, Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot pass through the vacuum of space without a medium., Sound is a electromagnetic wave and cannot travel through a vacuum., Sound is an electromagnetic wave that can travel through the vacuum of space., What type of wave is a sound wave?, Transverse, Frequency, Mechanical, If you increase the volume of a song, what will happen to the sound wave?, Frequency of waves will decrease, Amplitude of waves will decrease, Amplitude of waves will increase, Which item represents amplitude in this image?, A, C, D, Which item represents wavelength in the image?, A, B, D, Which item represents the crest in the image?, A, B, D, Which item represents the trough in the image?, A, C, D, Which of the following transfers the MOST energy/force?, A wave with a high amplitude, A wave with a long wavelength, A wave with a short wavelength, Which of the following BEST describes the medium in which sounds travels faster and why., Solids, because the particles are closest together, Liquids, because the particles are the most fluid, Gases, because the particles are closest together, What happens to the pitch of a sound if the frequency of the wave increaes?, It increases, It turns into a light wave, It decreases, As force increases, amplitude increases also., True, False, As amplitude increases, volume increases too., True, False, As frequency increases, wavelength increases (gets longer) too., True, False, Sound requires a medium., True, False, Sound can be produced without a force., True, False, What travels across the medium? (CER) -, particles, energy.
