Vocab words - Waves
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Waves: | A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another, often through a medium like air or water |
| Wavelength: | The distance between two consecutive points that are in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough. |
| Amplitude: | The maximum distance that points on a wave move from their rest position, indicating the energy of the wave. |
| Speed: | The distance a wave travels in a given amount of time; it can be affected by the medium through which the wave moves. |
| Frequency: | The number of waves that pass a point in a given time period, usually measured in hertz (Hz). |
| Sound: | A type of wave that results from vibrations and travels through a medium, typically air, allowing us to hear. |
| Pitch: | The perceived frequency of a sound; higher frequencies are perceived as higher pitches. |
| Electromagnetic Waves: | Waves that can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium, including radio waves, microwaves, and light. |
| Light: | A form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight. |
| Medium: | The substance or material through which a wave travels, such as air, water, or solid materials. |
| Transverse Wave: | A wave in which the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave, like waves on a string. |
| Longitudinal (Compression) Wave: | A wave in which the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave, such as sound waves. |
| Thermal Energy: | The energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often related to the movement of particles within a substance. |
| Radiation: | The process by which energy is emitted as particles or waves, including electromagnetic radiation like light and heat |
