Fast and Curious: Unit 8 Lesson 4, Lesson 5, and Lesson 6

Front

What is a Mechanical Wave?

Back

A wave that requires a medium through which to travel.

Front

What is Amplitude?

Back

The maximum distance that the particles of a wave’s medium vibrate from their rest positions.

Front

What is Voltage?

Back

The amount of work to move a unit of electric charge between two points; expressed in volts.

Front

What is a Series Circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected in a single path, allowing current to flow through each component sequentially.

Front

What is Material in the context of waves?

Back

The material-solid, liquid, or gas-through which a wave can travel.

Front

What is the difference between Mechanical Waves and Electromagnetic Waves?

Back

Mechanical waves require a medium to travel, while electromagnetic waves do not.

Front

What is Frequency in relation to waves?

Back

The number of waves that pass a point in a given period of time.

Front

What is Wavelength?

Back

The distance between two consecutive points of the same phase in a wave, such as crest to crest.

Front

What is the relationship between Amplitude and Energy?

Back

Higher amplitude means more energy carried by the wave.

Front

What is a Parallel Circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing current to flow through multiple paths.
