How do these waves compare?

wave 3 has a longer wavelength than wave 4

wave 2 has a higher frequency than wave 4

Which wave is carrying more energy?

The blue wave because it has higher frequency.

The blue wave because it has a larger amplitude.

The red wave because it has higher amplitude.

The red wave because it has higher frequency.

This sound has high pitch, which means it has a higher frequency. This means when you hear the sound...

More waves hit your ears per second

Less waves hit your ears per second

All waves carry energy from one place to another, but some waves carry more energy than others. A leaf falling on water produces waves so small they are hard to see. An earthquake under the ocean can produce huge waves that cause great destruction. What affects the energy of a wave? Select the 3 that apply.

The energy in a wave is determined by amplitude, which is the distance from the rest position of a wave to the top or bottom.

Large amplitude waves contain more energy .

The energy in a wave is determined by frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by each second.

The medium (material) moving along with the wave.

The particles in cold air have less kinetic energy than the particles in warm air. this means that they collide less often and take longer to transmit a sound wave pulse. What 2 things is this an explanation of:

the speed of electromagnetic energy

Each wavefront expands in a sphere, spreading the energy across a larger area. This means that the energy per unit area of the wave decreases as it moves farther form its source, causing the loudness of the sound wave to decrease. This is an example of:

energy of the sound wave changing as it moves farther away from the source.

energy of the sound wave remaining constant as it moves farther away from the source.

energy of the sound wave increases as it moves farther away from the source.

Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...

when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)

they both vary in an irregular pattern

How do these waves differ?

they carry different amounts of energy

they travel at different speeds

they have different wavelengths

they are a different distance from the source

How much energy is the bottom wave carrying, compared to the top wave?

bottom is carrying more energy than top

bottom is carrying the same energy as top

you cannot tell from the picture

bottom is carrying less energy than top

What does the picture tell you about the light waves coming from these lightbulbs?

the wave from the bulb on the right has a higher amplitude

the wave from the bulb on the left has a higher amplitude

the wave from the bulb on the left has a higher intensity

the wave from the bulb on the right has a lower intensity

For a class assignment, a group of students were directed to create two different waves. There was a requirement: the two waves needed to share at least one property which was exactly the same, and at least one property which was different. After graphing their results, as shown below, they believed they had successfully completed the assignment. Based on the information provided in the graph the students were:

successful, because the amplitudes are the same and the wavelengths are different.

not successful, because the two waves do not have any properties that are the same.

not successful, because the two waves do not have any properties that are different.

successful, because the wavelengths are the same and the amplitudes are different.
