Waves, Energy and Information - Benchmark Amplify

Front

What is amplitude in relation to waves?

Back

Amplitude is the height of the wave from the normal water level to the tallest part of the wave.

Front

What happens to sound as it travels through the air?

Back

As sound moves through the air, particles in the air collide with one another.

Front

How do you measure the amplitude of a wave?

Back

The amplitude of a wave is measured from the normal water level to the tallest part of the wave.

Front

What is the significance of patterns in digital communication?

Back

Patterns create a code that the sending device and receiving device can understand.

Front

How is energy transferred in sound communication?

Back

Energy is transferred from the source of the sound (like a squirrel) to the receiver (like another squirrel).

Front

What is wavelength in relation to waves?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is the normal water level in wave measurement?

Back

The normal water level is the baseline level of water before any waves occur.

Front

How do digital devices use codes to communicate?

Back

Digital devices use codes made up of 0s and 1s to send messages over long distances.

Front

What is the relationship between energy and sound?

Back

Energy is needed to create sound, and it travels through the medium (like air) to reach the listener.

Front

What is a sound wave?

Back

A sound wave is a type of wave that travels through air (or other mediums) and is created by vibrating objects.
