A disturbance that transfers energy
from place to place.
Mechanical waves are created when a
source of energy causes a medium to
The highest part of a transverse
wave.
Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to
the direction in which the wave is
moving
The maximum distance that the
particles of a medium move from
the rest position
The distance between two
corresponding parts of a wave
The speed of a wave is its wavelength
multiplied by its
How does energy move through a
medium?
How are mechanical waves
classified?
Frequency is measured in units
called
What kind of wave causes the particles
in the medium to move t right angles to the direction the
wave is moving?
The ____________ of a mechanical wave is a direct measure of
its energy.
What do waves transfer?
Does this tell us the distance
between the two waves?
What is the difference between longitudinal waves
with different amplitudes?
The _______________ of a wave tells us the number of waves
that are produced in a certain amount of
time.
What is the frequency if three waves pass a point
every second?
What part of a longitudinal wave
is this?
Which has a shorter
wavelength?
What kind of wave carries energy through empty
space?
What is the “stuff” a wave
travels through?
Which has a larger amplitude?
What is an ocean wave’s medium?
How do longitudinal
waves move?
What part of a longitudinal wave
is this?
The particles in a medium
____________________ to pass the wave’s energy along.
What is the medium for the sound waves
that come from a musical instrument?
TRUE or FALSE:Although
mechanical waves travel through a medium, they do
not carry the medium with them.
Which of these show ONE full
wave?
One
wav

s
one c
rest
and
one tr
ough
What are the two types of waves?
In a transverse wave, the matter in
the wave moves _____________________.
What is the speed of the wave below?Wave speed = wavelength x frequency
Wavelength – 3 inches
Frequency – 8 Hz.
(8 waves pass every second)
Wave Speed = 24 inches/second
How do you find the wavelength of
a longitudinal wave?
Transverse waves create points called
_________ and __________ or high and low points in
the waves movement.
What part of a wave do these arrows show?
Resting Position
What is an example of a longitudinal
wave?
Which of these have a lower amplitude?
What is an example of a
transverse wave?
What is a vibration?
Can the medium a wave passes
through affect the wave’s speed?
What part of a wave are these
arrows showing?
____________ waves are waves that need a medium to travel
through.
What is the frequency if six
waves pass a point every three seconds?
What part of a longitudinal wave is
shown?
Parts where the coils in a
longitudinal waves are spread
out.
Which has a higher frequency?
Parts where the coils in a
longitudinal waves are close
together.
