Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

Wave your arms in the air like you just don't care and get these points.
Did you do it?
Do "wavy arms" for 15 seconds and get these points!
Did you do it?
Do "the wave" as a team and get these points!
Did you do it?
In a wave, an area where coils are spread out is called a...
rarefaction
In a wave, an area where coils are pressed together are called a...
compression
If I increase the amplitude by a factor of 3, by how much would the wave energy increase?
A factor of 9 (remember - it's amplitude squared!)
How many wavelengths are shown in the picture?
2
All waves must travel through a ________.
medium
TRUE or FALSE: If everything else is the same, a wave with a smaller amplitude has more energy.
False
What unit is used to describe frequency?
Hertz (Hz)
wave speed = wavelength x frequency... If the wave speed is 42 m/s and the wavelength is 6 m, what is the frequency?
7 Hz
wave speed = wavelength x frequency... If the wave speed is 9 m/s and the frequency is 3 Hz, what is the wavelength?
3 m
wave speed = wavelength x frequency... If the wavelength is 12 m and the frequency is 4 Hz, what is the wave speed?
48 m/s
If I know that a wave pulse occurs in 5 seconds, what can I use that to calculate: frequency, amplitude, wave speed, or wavelength?
wave speed
How could I measure the wavelength of a wave?
From any point in the wave to the next same point (i.e. crest to crest OR trough to trough)
How could I measure the amplitude of a wave?
From rest position to the trough or rest position to the crest
Which letters are at rest position?
A, C, E, and G
Which letters are troughs?
D and H
Which letters are crests?
B and F
Which letter represents amplitude?
B
Which letter represents wavelength?
A
What word describes the number of waves that pass a point during a certain amount of time?
frequency
What is the difference between a longitudinal and a transverse wave?
Longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction they are traveling, transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction they are traveling.
