  13. 10 Point Questions 1st question is for your # 4s

  14. # 1 Define Wavelength: • The thickness of a compression • # of waves per second • The distance between two crests or two troughs in a row • How large a wave is

  16. # 2 A Definition of Amplitude is: • The measure from crest to trough • # of waves per second • The distance between two crests or two troughs in a row • The measure of how large a wave is

  17. # 2 Answer A Definition of Amplitude is: • The measure from crest to trough • # of waves per second • The distance between two crests or two troughs in a row • The measure of how large a wave is # 1s…you’re up next

  18. # 3 How do you measure the amplitude of a transverse wave? • The distance from the line of origin to the crest or the line of origin to the trough. • The distance from a compression to a rarefaction • The # of waves per second • The length from one crest to the next consecutive crest.

  22. # 5 The following shows a change in A. Amplitude B. Size C. Volume D. Wavelength

  23. # 5 Answer The following shows a change in • Amplitude • Size • Volume • Wavelength Next question is for your 4s

  24. #6 • The two pictures below show a change in WHAT? Describe. • 1 • 2

  25. #6 Answer • The two pictures below show a change in Frequency/Pitch. Picture 1 has a lower frequency, so a lower pitch than Picture 2 • 1 • 2

  26. 25 points for the GROUP Picture of water before a rock Picture of water after a Is thrown rock is thrown Explain what happened. Include Amplitude/Frequency, Energy types (if you know them, but I’m not expecting you to), AND wave types!

  27. GROUP Answer “before” “after” There is very little energy in the water “before.” A rock, filled with Kinetic Mechanical Energy transfers that energy to the water. The energy flow through the water is still mechanical. Around where the rock hit (the source of energy), the amplitude is high (large waves) and the frequency is high (waves close together). As the energy travels through the water in TRANSVERSE (up and down) waves away from the source, the energy is transferred through all surrounding water and it begins to decrease, thus decreasing in size (amplitude) and frequency (the waves spread out).

  28. 20 Point Questions 1st Question is for your 1s

  29. # 1 Draw a picture of a longitudinal wave. Label a compression and a rarefaction. Label a wavelength.

  31. # 2 Draw a picture of a transverse wave. Label: A crest and a trough A wavelength The line of origin Amplitude in one spot

  33. # 3 Draw a picture of two transverse waves with a change in Amplitude. Include what an increase in Amplitude would mean for this type of wave in real life.

  34. # 3 Answer Draw a picture of two transverse waves with a change in Amplitude SMALLER AMPLITUDE (SMALLER WAVE)LARGER AMPLITUDE (LARGER WAVE) (DIMMER LIGHT) (BRIGHTER LIGHT) # 4s…you’re up next

  35. # 4 Explain what happens to Amplitude, Frequency, and wavelength the further you get away from the source. Why?

  36. # 4 Answer Explain what happens to Amplitude, Frequency, and wavelength the further you get away from the source. Why? The source is the source of ENERGY. The further you get away from the source of energy, the less energy there is being transferred. The waves get further apart, so frequency decreases (wavelength increases). Thus, light slows down (wave type/color changes) pitch becomes slightly lower…..both over a VERY large distance. Usually frequency change is not noticeable (Doppler effect does not factor in here). Amplitude, or size, decreases substantially. Therefore….light becomes dimmer, sound quieter. # 1s…you’re up next

  37. # 5 The following picture shows a change in What? Yes, There is more than one answer here.

  38. The following picture shows a change in What? There is more than one answer here. # 5 Answer A B Picture A’s wavelengths are shorter than B. The waves in A are closer together, so the frequency is higher and therefore, so is the pitch. B’s waves are further apart, so frequency is lower (and so is the pitch).

  39. 25 Point Questions FOR THE GROUP

  40. # 1 Velocity (Speed) = Frequency x Wavelength Calculate the following: 1. A wave is traveling at 37.4 m/s. The Frequency is 15,000 Hz. What is the wavelength? Round to the 1000th. 2. 7 waves pass a fixed point every 12 sec. The waves have a length of 3.4 m. What is the speed of the wave? Round to the nearest 100th.

  41. # 1 Answer 1. A wave is traveling at 37.4 m/s. The Frequency is 15,000 Hz. What is the wavelength? Speed = Frequency x Wavelength 37.4 = 15,000 x ? 37.4 = .002 m 15,000 2. 7 waves pass a fixed point every 12 sec. The waves have a length of 3.4 m. What is the speed of the wave? Velocity (Speed) = Frequency x Wavelength ? =(7 waves per 12 sec) x 3.4 m ? = 7 x 3.4 12 1.97 m/s = .58 x 3.4
