If it has high or low frequency (more spread = low frequency and more bunched = high frequency)
Compression - bunch; Rarefaction - spread out; Wavelength - middle of one compression to the next; Amplitude - how compressed
Secondary Wave (s-wave)
Density - is the medium solid, liquid or gas
Electromagnetic (EM)
Transverse - Light or Rope; Longitudinal - Sound, Slinky or Spring
ENERGY
Medium - does it require one or not
How much ENERGY it has (bigger amplitude = more energy and smaller amplitude = less energy)
Primary Wave (p-wave)
Parallel to the disturbance or front to back with the disturbance
Hearing sound, Feeling sound then Seeing Light
DENSER
They are all created by a disturbance and THEY ALL TRANSFER ENERGY!
Crest - top of wave; Trough - bottom of wave; Wavelength - crest to crest; Amplitude - middle to top
Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency, Speed
Electromagnetic (EM); Transverse
Perpendicular to the disturbance or Up and down/side to side from the disturbance
Medium and Density (because some require mediums and mediums have different densities)
A solids particles are closer together
A part of a wave that can be identified and measured
Mechanical; Longitudinal
Mechanical
CANNOT
The pitch (high or low sound) of the wave (higher frequency - higher pitch; lower frequency = lower pitch)
A mechanical wave loses ________ as it travels
Why does sound travel fastest through a solid
Describe the direction of a longitudinal wave movement
Which seismic wave type can travel through both liquids and solids
What causes waves to travel at different speeds
A Mechanical wave travels faster in __________ materials
What does the amplitude of a wave tell us
Describe the direction of a transverse wave movement
Sound is an example of a _______ wave with a _______ movement
What factor causes feeling sound to be second and hearing sound the be thrid
What are the 4 parts of longitudinal wave and tell how to identify them
Type of wave the does need a medium
What does frequency of a wave tell us
What factor causes seeing light to be first and feeling sound to be second
List an example of something with transverse wave movement and an example of something with longitudinal wave movement
Light is an example of an _______ wave with a ________ movement
Sound, light and seismic are waves...so what do they have in common
What are the 4 parts of a transverse wave and tell how to identify them
Name the properties of a wave that we can measure
What does the wavelength of a wave tell us
Which seismic wave type can only travel through solids and not liquids
Rank seeing light, feeling sound and hearing sound from slowest to fastest
Type of wave that doesn't need a medium
What is a wave property
A mechanical wave ________ travel forever
