Questions:
1. What are three things that travel in waves?
-Sound, energy and travel in waves.
2. What are three of the properties of waves?
-The three properties of waves are wavelength, frequency and amplitude.
3. Why does light break into patterns when it is run through thin slits?
-Due to the different wavelengths of the different colors, light breaks into different patterns.
4. Do x-rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
-X-rays have a higher frequency than light waves.
5. Define wavelength.
-Wavelength is the length of the wave, or the distance between two waves.
6. What causes waves on the ocean?
-Wind causes waves on the ocean.
7. What are the waves in the Earth called (Earthquake waves)?
-The waves in the Earth are called seismic waves.
8. Define frequency.
-Frequency is how fast a wave travels.
9. Define amplitude.
-Amplitude is the height of the wave.
10. What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading? (Give an example).
-Compression waves.
11. What is it called when a wave bounces back and comes back to the source?
-Reflection waves.
12. What is sonar?
-Sonar is a system that uses sound waves to find the distance of an object.
-Sound, energy and travel in waves.
