Classwork On Wave-8 April 2020

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium. The medium itself does not travel with the wave. There are two main types of waves: transverse waves where the medium moves perpendicular to the wave direction, and longitudinal waves where the medium moves parallel to the wave direction. Key wave properties include wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed, with wavelength calculated by dividing the wave speed by frequency.

Class-work on Wave

Date: 8 April 2020


Name:

A ______________ is a disturbance that carries ______________ from one place to another.


___________ is NOT carried with the wave! A wave can move through matter (a ___________).
If it must have a medium, it is called ______________ wave. If it can travel without a medium
(such as in space), it is called ______________ wave.
Wave Types
1. __________ waves: Waves in which the medium
moves at __________ angles to the wave direction.
Parts of a transverse wave:
__________: the highest point of the wave
trough: the __________ point of the wave
2. _______________ (longitudinal) wave: Waves in which
the medium moves ____________________________ in the
same direction as the wave.
Parts of a longitudinal wave:
____________: where the particles are close together
Comparing transverse and longitudinal waves.
____________: where the particles are spread apart
Wave properties depend on what ________________________ makes the wave.
1. __________: The distance between one point on a wave and the ________________________________
on the next wave.
2. __________: How many waves go past a point in __________; measured in __________ (Hz). The
higher the frequency, the more __________ in the wave.
3. __________: How far the medium (crests and troughs, or compressions and rarefactions) moves
from _______________________ (the place the medium is when not moving). The __________ energy
a wave carries, the __________ its amplitude. Amplitude is related to energy by ____________.
4. __________: Depends on the medium the wave is traveling in. This varies in __________,
__________ and __________.
Equation for calculating wave speed:
wave speed = __________ (in m) x __________ (in Hz)
Problem: So- if a wave has a wave speed of 1000 m/s and a frequency of 500 Hz, what is its
wave length? Answer: wavelength= _________________________
