Fichas del conjunto (10)
- 1What are waves?Waves transmit energy from one point to another without transferring matter
- 2What are the two types of waves?Transverse and longitudinal
- 3What is the wave equation?Wave speed= Frequency x Wavelength
- 4What is refraction?When the wave changes speed and direction e.g light travelling from air into water.
- 5What is a transverse wave?A wave where the waves vibrate at a right angle to the direction the waves are travelling.
- 6How do you measure the amplitude in a transverse wave?The height of the crest from the undisturbed position.
- 7How do you measure the wavelength in a transverse wave?The distance between two troughs.
- 8How do you measure the wavelength in a longitudinal wave?The distance between successive compressions.
- 9How do you measure the amplitude in a longitudinal wave?The amplitude is the maximum distance the vibrating particle travels from its undisturbed distance.
- 10What is the angle of incidence the same in a plane mirror?The angle of reflection
