- 1what are wavesa back and forth motion that is traverse energy
- 2How do amplitude and wavelength affect a wave?the wavelength increases lead to the increase in the height of amplitude of a wave.
- 3What can happen to a wave when they meet a certain medium?Waves could bend
- 4Explain the difference between longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Define the parts of a transverse wave.Transverse wave cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, Longitudinal waves cause the medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave.
Transverse waves are going to be longer while compression waves are small and close together. - 5Describe mechanical and electromagnetic waves.They do not require a medium to propagate.
- 6waves can blank blank absorbreflect, refract
- 7Define reflection,Reflection: The bouncing back wave of an object.
- 8define refractionRefraction: changing of a waves speed and direction as it travels into a medium
- 9define absorptionTo take in or soak up.
