5 Matching Questions

  1. pitch
  2. Absorption
  3. Destructive interference
  4. medium
  5. Transverse wave
  1. a
    A wave whose medium oscillates at right angles to the direction of the waves' energy.
  2. b The matter that transmits the energy of the wave. Does not travel with the wave's energy.
  3. c When two waves interact and result in decreased amplitude.
  4. d When a wave encounters a boundary and as a result, loses some or all of its energy.
  5. e corresponds to frequency in sound

5 Multiple Choice Questions

  1. Are absorbed by bones.
  2. the place in a standing wave where there is maximum displacement

  3. The highest point of a wave.

  4. The interaction between 2 or more waves.
  5. A stationary wave pattern formed in a medium when two sets of identical waves pass through the medium in opposite directions.

5 True/False Questions

  1. Simple Harmonic Motion
    Motion that repeats.

          

  2. AmplitudeThe distance from equilibrium point to the highest or lowest point of a wave. In mechanical waves it is proportional to the energy of the wave.

          

  3. Longitudinal waveA wave whose medium oscillates parallel to the direction of the waves' energy.

          

  4. DiffractionThe bending of a wave due to a change in the medium's properties.

          

  5. CompressionA region of high pressure of the medium in a longitudinal wave.
