Science Phyiscs test - Waves
Cards in this deck (11)
- 1What is the equation for wavelength?Wave speed = Frequency x Wavelength
- 2What is Wavelength measured in?Wavelength = metres (m)
- 3Wavelength is related to ?Pitch
- 4What is Frequency measured in?Hertz (Hz)
- 5What is wave speed measured in?Metres per second (m/s)
- 6A wave with tall waves close together is will sound...High pitched and loud
- 7A wave with small waves far apart will sound...Deep and quiet
- 8What movement does a transverse wave make?Up and down, and side to side. These vibrations are at a right angle to the direction of the waves
- 9What movement does a longitudinal wave make?Forwards and backwards. These vibrations are parallel to the direction of the wave
- 10Why does light slow down as it enters glass?Because it has a different density to air
- 11What is the order of the wave size from longest to smallest?radio waves, microwaves, infra-red radiation, visible light, ultra violet, x-rays, gamma rays!
