What is a Wave? | Water waves are just one of many kinds of waves. |
What is a Medium? | Is the material-solid, liquid, gas-trough which can travel. |
What is a Transverse wave? | The spring coils move up and down as the wave passes. |
What is Crest in a wave? | The points where the wave is highest. |
What is Though in a wave? | The points where the wave is lowest. |
What is a Longitudinal wave? | Particals move back and forth in the same direction that the waves travel. |
What is Compression in spring coils? | The coils being together. |
What is Rarefaction in spring coils? | The spread of the coils appart. |
What is a Mechanical wave? | Waves that require a medium. |
What is a Electromagnetic wave? | A wave with no medium. |
What is Amplitude? | Is a measure of how far partials in the medium move from their rest position. |
What is Wavelength? | Defined as the distance from any point on a wave to the next identical point on the same wave. |
What is Frequency? | Is the number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time. |
What is Hertz (Hz)? | Is frequency measured. |
What is Wave speed? | Depends on properties of the medium. |
What is Force? | A push or a pull exerted on an object to change the motion of the object. |
What is Work? | The use of the force to move an object sum distance. |
What is Power? | The Ability to do something or act in a particular way, especially as a faculty or quality. |
