answer
Medium
question
Is the following sentence true or false? Solids, liquids, and gases all can act as mediums for waves
answer
True
question
What creates a mechanical wave?
answer
It's created when an energy source causes a vibration to travel through a medium
question
Is the following sentence true or false? The three main types of mechanical waves are water waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves.
answer
True
question
Circle the letter of the characteristic used to classify a mechanical wave
answer
c.) the way it travels through a medium
question
The highest point of a wave above the rest position is the____________ and the lowest point below the rest position is the_______________
answer
Crest ~ Trough
question
What is a transverse wave?
answer
A wave that causes a medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
question
A wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to, or in the same direction, as the direction in which the wave travels is call a...
answer
Longitudinal
question
When a longitudinal wave carries energy through a spring, the area where the coils of a spring are closer together than they would be in the rest position is called a...
answer
Compression
question
Is the following sentence true or false? A verification is a region in a longitudinal waves or particles of a medium spread out
answer
True
question
Why is an ocean wave classified as a surface wave?
answer
Because the energy moves, not the water
question
Why do ocean waves transport objects on the surface of the water as they approach the shore?
answer
In shallow water, friction with the shore slows down the bottom of the waves, causing the waves to topple over themselves and move material toward the shore
question
P wave
answer
b.) longitudinal wave
question
Direction of travel is perpendicular to vibration direction
answer
a.) transverse wave
question
Ratifications with particles that are spread out
answer
b.) longitudinal wave
question
A wave that travels along a boundary separating two mediums
answer
c.) surface wave
question
An ocean wave
answer
c.) surface wave
