Transverse and Longitudinal Wave

What do waves transfer from one place to another?

• Energy

• Particles

• Forces

Amplitude is the...?

• movement of the wave

• how long a full wave is

• is the unit for current

• the height of the wave (from the middle line to the top or bottom of the wave)

In a longitudinal wave, as the wave/disturbance goes from left to right, the particles of the medium move from 

• left to right

• top to bottom

• in a circle

Compression is where the particles of the material a wave is traveling through are...?

• louder

• quieter 

• bunched together

• spread apart

A rarefaction is where the particles the wave is moving though are 

• spread apart

• bunched together

• louder

• quieter

Sound waves are 

• Longitudinal 

• Transverse

• Water wave

• Stadium waves

In a transverse wave, as the wave moves left to right, the particles move

• Up and down

• Left to right

• In a circle

In transverse waves, the particles move ------------- to the direction fo the wave energy

• perpendicular

• parallel

Amplitude is 

• the distance between the equilibrium line (middle line) and the top or bottom of the wave

• how long one full wave is 

Wavelength is 

• how long one full wave is

• the distance between the equilibrium line (middle line) and the top or bottom of the wave
