6.8C - Waves Test Review

How is energy transferred through longitudinal waves?

• Particles move side to side, away from the starting point.

• Particles move perpendicular to the wave motion.

• Particles must be transmitted through a vacuum.

• Particles move parallel to the wave motion.

How is energy transferred through transverse waves?

• Movement of particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave

• Giving off light in the direction of the wave

• Giving off sound in the direction of the wave

• Movement of particles parallel to the direction of the wave

What type of wave is demonstrated in the model below? How is energy transferred through it?

• Transverse wave; energy travels in the same direction, and particles vibrate.

• Transverse wave; energy travels up and down in the direction of the wave.

• Longitudinal wave; energy travels in the same direction, and particles vibrate.

• Longitudinal wave; energy travels up and down in the direction of the wave.

Which type of waves are longitudinal waves?

• Sound waves

• Ultraviolet waves

• Infrared waves

• Radio waves

The picture shows an image of two different types of waves. Which statement correctly identifies each of the waves?

• Wave A is transverse. Wave B is longitudinal. In transverse waves, the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave, and in longitudinal waves, the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

• Wave A is longitudinal. Wave B is transverse. In transverse waves, the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave, and in longitudinal waves, the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave.

• Wave A is longitudinal. Wave B is transverse. In transverse waves, the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave and in longitudinal waves, the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

• Wave A is transverse. Wave B is longitudinal. In transverse waves, the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave and in longitudinal waves, the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave.

Sound waves and light waves are different types of waves, but both share which of the following characteristics? Both kinds of waves–

• are able to travel without any medium in a vacuum.

• move particles parallel to the movement of the wave.

• need a medium to travel through.

• have measurable characteristics such as amplitude and frequency.

These are characteristics of ​ (a)  

• Particles of medium vibrate parallel along the direction of motion of wave • Includes compression and rarefaction • Can travel through solids, liquids, or gases • Sound waves

• Transverse wave
• Longitudinal Waves

These are characteristics of ​ (a)  

• Particles of medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave • Includes crests and troughs • Does not require a medium to travel through • Light waves

• Longitudinal Wave
• Transverse Waves

Waves transfer energy and momentum from one particle to another.

Some waves move particles in the same direction as the wave itself.

These waves have compressions and require a medium to travel through.
