1. Copy: "Wave--rhythmic disturbance that carries energy but not matter"
Describing waves
2. Click on the crests & troughs picture and draw this diagram in your notebook.
Go to the frequency animation, and play around with it.
3. Use what you see to write your own definition of frequency in your notebook, which can include diagrams.
Go to the amplitude and wavelength animation, and play around with it.
4. Use what you see to write your own definition of amplitude in your notebook, which can include diagrams.
5. Use what you see to write your own definition of wavelength in your notebook, which can include diagrams.
Types of Waves
There are 2 main types of waves: transverse, and compressional (a.k.a. longitudinal).
Go to the wave motion page, and watch the animations of compressional and transverse waves.
6. Using a complete sentence, list one thing that is similar between compressional (a.k.a. longitudinal) and transverse waves.
7. Using a complete sentence, list one difference between compressional (a.k.a. longitudinal) and transverse waves.
Go to the red dot page, and use it to answer # 8 and #10. Notice that you can click between transverse and longitudinal.
8. In your notebook, draw the following diagram:
Start the animation for the transverse wave. Carefully watch the red dot.
To the diagram you already drew, add a short line with arrows on both sides that shows the movement of the red dot.
9. Copy into notebook (include the picture): "Transverse wave--a wave where the particles move perpendicular to the direction
of the wave. Example: water waves
