Wave & Energy Quizizz

A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium. There are two types of waves. The first are _________, which cause a disturbance in the direction of energy transfer, such as causing the particles of the medium to vibrate in that direction. The second are ________, which cause disturbances that are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, such as causing the particles of the medium to vibrate up and down when the energy flow is left to right. Which terms, in order, best complete the paragraph?

• water waves; longitudinal waves

• longitudinal waves; transverse waves

• transverse waves; longitudinal waves

• transverse waves; water waves

A wave transfers _________.

• matter

• particles

• water

• energy

How does sound travel through the air?

• Sound causes air particles to travel in one direction as longitudinal waves.

• Sound causes energy and air particles to travel in one direction as longitudinal waves.

• Sound causes energy to travel through the air in all directions as transverse waves.

• Sound causes energy to travel away from a vibrating object as a longitudinal wave moving through the air.

Look at the diagrams. Which diagram best illustrates transverse waves and why?

• Diagram A because the direction of vibration is the same as the direction of motion of the wave energy.

• Diagram B because the direction of vibration is the same as the direction of motion of the wave energy.

• Diagram A because the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave energy.

• Diagram B because the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave energy.
