WAVES
1.) What are three things that travel in waves?
Light, sound, and particles
2.) What are three of the properties of waves?
Wave length, frequency, and amplitude.
3.) Why does light break into patterns when it is run through thin slits?
It travels at different frequencies.
4.) Do x-rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
Higher
5.) Define Wave length.
Wave length is the length from the bottom to bottom, or crust to crust.
6.) What causes waves in the ocean?
Wind
7.) What are the waves in the Earth called?
Seismic waves
8.) Define frequency.
The rate at which something occurs or the speed of the wave
9.) Define amplitude.
Amplitude is the weight of the wave.
10.) What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading?
A compression wave
11.) What is it called when a wave bounces back and comes back to the source?
Echo
12.) What is Sonar?
A system for the detection of objects under water and for measuring the water's depth by emitting sound pulses and detecting or measuring their return after being reflected.
