| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a Wave? | The vibration in a medium. |
| What is a Medium? | The material-solid, Liquid or gas through witch a wave can travel. |
| What is a Transverse wave? | When the particles move perpendicularly to the direction to the wave travels. |
| What is the Crest? | The highest points of a transverse wave. |
| What is the Trough? | The lowest points of a transverse wave. |
| What is a Longitudinal wave? | Particles that move back and forth in the same direction that the waves travels. |
| What is Compression? | The part where the particles bunch together. |
| What is a Rarefaction? | The spreading of the particles to be spring loaded . |
| What is a Mechanical wave? | The waves that require a medium. |
| What is a Electromagnetic wave? | The waves that are not a disturbance in a physical medium. |
| What is Amplitude? | A measure of how far particles in the medium move from their rest position. |
| What is Wavelength? | The distance from any point on a wave to the next identical point on the same wave. |
| What is Frequency? | The number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time, usually one second. |
| What is Hertz? | The measure of Frequency. |
| What is Wave speed? | The speed that the wave travels. |
| What is Force ? | The push or a pull exerted on an object in Newtons. |
| What is Work ? | The use of force to move an object some distance. |
| What is Power? | Is how much work you do in a amount of time. |
| If 120 W of power is produced in 37 seconds, how much work is done? | 4,440 J |
| If you move a 35 N bad of apples and move it 70 meters how much work is done? | 2,450 J |
| What is the difference between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves? | Mechanical waves require a medium and electromagnetic waves are not a disturbance in a physical medium. |
| What is the difference between longitudinal waves and transverse waves? | Longitudinal waves the particles move in the same direction that the waves travel and transverse waves the particles move perpendicularity to the direction of the wave travels. |
| What usually comes after a compression in a slinky? | A rarefaction. |
| Do you do work if you go anywhere? | you do not because you need to move to do work. |
| If you weight more then do you do more power? | yes because you do more work, resulting in more power. |
| Would you do more work if you went fast up the stairs or slow? | you would do the same either way. |
