Work,Power,and Waves

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Transverse Waves   Particles that travel perpendicularly to the direction the wave travels  
🗑
Mechanical Waves   Waves that require a medium  
🗑
Electromagnetic waves   Waves that are not disturbances in physical mediums  
🗑
Amplitude   A measure of how far particles in the medium move from the rest position  
🗑
Wavelength   The disturbance from one point on a wave to the next identical point on the wave  
🗑
Frequency   The number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time  
🗑
Hertz   SI unit of Frequency  
🗑
Wave speed   The speed that waves travel  
🗑
Rarefaction   Region in longitudinal waves where the particles and farthest apart  
🗑
Force   A push or pull exerting on an object in order to change the motion of an object measured in waves  
🗑
Work   The use of force to move and object some distance.  
🗑
Calculation for work   W=FxD  
🗑
Power   The rate at which work is done or converted  
🗑
Calculation for power   P=W/T  
🗑
Wave   A distance that transfers energy  
🗑
Medium   A solid,liquid,or gas through which a wave can travel  
🗑
Crest   The points where the waves are the highest  
🗑
Trough   The point where the wave are at the lowest point  
🗑
Longitudinal wave   Particles that move back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels  
🗑
Compression   Region in Longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together  
🗑
Calculation for wavelength   WL=WS/F  
🗑
For Mechanical waves like sound waves when you talk,what would be the Medium   Air particles  
🗑
How are Electromagnetic waves able to travel   The waves Vibrate on the electrical/magnetic field it creates  
🗑
What are example(s) of Mechanical waves   Sound waves,Water waves,seismic waves  
🗑
what are examples of Electromagnetical waves   microwaves,radio waves,inferred light,UV radiation,visible light  
🗑
Which medium allows waves to travel through it the fastest   Solid(s)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
