waves
the study of waves and their properties
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| waves | Is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter |
| medium | |
| transverse waves | Is a wave which Disturbed disturbance is killer to the direction the waves travels |
| mechanical wave | Is a wave that travels only can matter mechanical waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases |
| Longitudinal | Observational research tracking the same individuals or variables over months, years, or decades to analyze development |
| sound waves | A mechanical wave created by vibrations that transfer energy through a medium—such as air, water, or solids |
| amplify | To increase the volume of the Sound |
| wavelength | Wavelength is the spatial distance between two consecutive, identical points in a wave—such as from crest to crest or trough to trough—representing one full cycle. |
| frequency | the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second. |
| pitch | the quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the degree of highness or lowness of a tone. |
