What are three things that travel in waves?
- Light
-Sound
-Energy
What are three of the properties of waves?
- wave length
- frequency
- amplitude
Do x-rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
-Higher
Define wavelength.
- Distance between two waves
What causes waves on the ocean?
- wind
What are the waves in the Earth called (Earthquake waves)?
- Seismic waves
Define frequency.
- Speed in which waves move
Define amplitude.
- Height of the waves
What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading? (give an example)
- Compression waves
What is it called when a wave bounces back and comes back to the source?
- Reflection
What is Sonar?
- tells you how far a subject is using sonar waves
