Patience REQUIRED WAVES Assessment 1 - 2024

Front

What happens when a wave transfers energy across a lake?

Back

Energy is transferred across the lake, while particles move up and down.

Front

What is the cochlea?

Back

The cochlea is a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear that is responsible for converting sound vibrations into nerve impulses.

Front

What is the lowest part of a transverse wave called?

Back

The lowest part of a transverse wave is called the trough.

Front

What type of wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction it is traveling?

Back

A transverse wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction it is traveling.

Front

In a transverse wave, how do particles move?

Back

In a transverse wave, particles move up and down.

Front

What is a wave?

Back

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

Front

What is a crest in a wave?

Back

A crest is the highest point of a wave.

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What is the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?

Back

In a transverse wave, particles move up and down, while in a longitudinal wave, particles move back and forth.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum distance that the particles of a wave move from their rest position.
