WAVES
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the movement or transfer of energy through a medium (like air, water, or solids) | Waves |
| What is the ability to change or move an object through force | energy |
| What is the height or size of a wave, and represents how strong the wave is | amplitude |
| What is the distance between two consecutive points on a wave, often measured from one peak to the next | wavelength |
| something that happens in a regular and predictable way | pattern |
| the highest point of a wave | crest |
| the number of waves that pass in a certain amount of time | frequency |
| the motion of the object be affected if the waves had large amplitudes? | the object would move a greater distance up and down. |
| the motion of the object be affected if the waves had a large wavelength? | the object would move up and down more slowly. |
| How are sound waves similar to ocean waves? | mechanical types of waves. move energy from one place to another can be described by their properties (amplitude, wavelength, and frequency). |
| How are sound waves different from ocean waves? | through different mediums. Sound waves move through the air and ocean waves move through the water. So, while we can’t usually see sound waves, we can see ocean waves. |
| determine the amount of energy a wave | by studying the wave’s properties |
| describe the relationship between a wavelength and a frequency? | The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. |
| What does disturb mean when referring to waves | to move |
| HOw do waves move | up and down |
| What decreases when the wave moves closer to the short? | amplitude |
