    Cards (9)

    • What do waves transfer?
      Energy
    • What is the relationship between waves and vibrations?
      • Waves are produced as a result of vibrations.
    • What are examples of longitudinal waves?
      Sound waves, ultrasound waves, and slinky waves
    • What is the orientation of transverse waves?
      90 degrees
    • What are examples of transverse waves?
      Water waves, electromagnetic waves, and rope and string waves
    • What is the formula for wave speed?
      • Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
    • If the frequency of a wave is 10 Hz and the wavelength is 2 m, what is the wave speed?
      20 m/s20 \text{ m/s}
    • What is the relationship expressed in the equation: wave speed = frequency x wavelength?
      It shows how wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength
    • How do longitudinal waves differ from transverse waves in terms of particle movement?
      In longitudinal waves, particles move parallel to the wave direction, while in transverse waves, they move perpendicular
