Waves 1

Which type of wave is this? Transverse Longitudinal Both Neither Wavelength is the measure of _. how many waves pass a particular point in a particular time wave height the distance from one point on a wave to the next matching point wave speed Which type of wave is this? Transverse Longitudinal Both Neither Amplitude is the measure of _. how many waves pass a particular point in a particular time wave height the distance from one point on a wave to the next matching point wave speed Sort the characteristics under each type of wave. Transverse Waves Also called electromagnetic waves Movement is up and down An example is light Travel perpendicular to the medium Can travel through a medium or a vaccuum Longitudinal Waves Also called mechanical or compression waves Movement is back and forth An example is sound Travel parallel to the medium Can only travel through a medium How is the wavelength of a transverse wave measured? Crest to crest Trough to trough Compression to compression Both A and B Write "high" or "low" to describe the amplitudes of each wave. high low high low How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave measured? Crest to crest Trough to trough Compression to compression Both A and B How many waves are in this picture? 3 4 4.5 8 Frequency is the measure of _. how many waves pass a particular point in a particular time wave height the distance from one point on a wave to the next matching point wave speed Which wave has the highest frequency? Top Middle Bottom All the same frequency Which type of wave is this? Transverse Longitudinal Both Neither
