Waves- Bill Nye Video
What are three things that travel in waves?
1) Sound
2) Energy
3) Water
What are three properties of waves?
1) Wavelength
2) Frequency
3) Amplitude
Why does light break into patterns when it is run through thin slits?
The different wave lengths of the variables of color.
Do x-rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
X-rays have higher frequency.
Define wavelength: The distance between two waves.
What causes waves on the ocean?
Wind causes wave on the ocean.
What are the waves in the Earth called ( Earthquake waves )?
Seismic waves are the waves in the Earth.
Define Frequency: The speed of how fast they're going.
Define amplitude: The height of the wave.
What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading? ( Give an example )
Compression Waves- A spring when you pull one end and let it go.
What is it called when a wave bounces back and comes back to the source?
Reflective
What is Sonar? A system that uses sound waves to find the distance of an object.
