Waves 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsWavesGCSEEdexcel Created by: Jazzy15Created on: 27-03-19 18:25 Waves on the surface of water are what kind of waves ? Transverse 1 of 27 Waves on surface of water are transverse as ? The particles in water move up and down as a wave passes 2 of 27 In what way do transverse wave particles move up and down ? At RIGHT ANGLES to direction the wave is moving 3 of 27 Sound waves transfer ? Energy 4 of 27 What type of waves are sound waves ? Longitudinal waves 5 of 27 How do longitudinal waves move ? Particles in material in wave move BACKWARDS and FORWARDS 6 of 27 What kind of waves do earthquakes and explosions produce ? Seismic waves -that travel through the earth 7 of 27 What do longitudinal seismic waves do ? PUSHES or PULLs solid rock material 8 of 27 What do transverse seismic waves do ? Move up or down or side to side 9 of 27 Give 3 examples of electromagnetic waves light, radio waves, microwaves 10 of 27 What type of waves are electromagnetic waves ? Transverse waves 11 of 27 What is wave frequency ? No. of waves passing a point each second 12 of 27 What are waves measured in ? Frequency wise Hertz 13 of 27 For sound, the wave frequency determines the what ? Pitch (high or low) 14 of 27 For light, the wave frequency determines the what ? Colour 15 of 27 What is the period ? The length of time it takes one wave to pass a given point 16 of 27 What is the wavelength ? The distance from a point on one wave to a point in the same position on the next wave, measured in meters 17 of 27 What is the amplitude ? Height of wave - From middle to top or bottom 18 of 27 What is the velocity ? The speed of the wave in the direction it is travelling in 19 of 27 What is the equation for speed ? Speed = distance divided by time 20 of 27 What does V stand for ? Speed 21 of 27 What does x stand for ? Distance 22 of 27 What is the equation for wave speed ? Frequency (Hz) x wavelength (m) 23 of 27 What does the symbol lambda represent ? Wavelength 24 of 27 How can you find the speed of sound ? By measuring the time it takes for a sound to travel a certain distance. 25 of 27 How could you experiment to find the speed of sound ? Stand in front of a large wall, measure the time taken for an echo of a loud sound to reach you. 26 of 27 What's one way you could measure the speed of waves on water ? You could measure the time it takes for a wave to travel between 2 fixed points such as buoys. 27 of 27
