Energy, Waves & Transformations

Front

What do waves transfer?

Back

Energy

Front

What change in a wave will show a change in energy?

Back

Decrease in amplitude

Front

Kinetic energy is —

Back

the energy of motion

Front

In which wave is the motion of the particles parallel to the motion of the wave?

Back

Longitudinal

Front

Unbalanced forces —

Back

cause the motion of an object to change.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and energy in waves?

Back

Higher frequency means higher energy.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

The maximum distance the particles of the medium move from their rest position.

Front

What type of wave requires a medium to travel through?

Back

Mechanical wave.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv² (where m is mass and v is velocity).
