1 Review of Waves

2 Review What is the difference between asking for “the distance between successive parts of a wave and the time between successive parts of a wave”?

3 Review How are wave height and amplitude related?

4 Review How are frequency and period related?

5 Name the Behavior

6 What is the magnitude of one wavelength?

7 Word Problem Practice Two boats are anchored in the harbor, separated by a horizontal distance of 30 m. The boats bob up and down as waves enter the harbor. When one boat is at its highest point, the other is at its lowest point and there is one wave crest between them. Each boat makes exactly 2 complete up-and-down cycles every 10.0 s. The vertical distance between a boat's highest and lowest position is 3.0 m. Determine the wavelength (m), frequency (Hz), period (s), amplitude (m), and speed (m/s) of the waves.

8 Analysis of Diagram

10 When a door is only slightly opened, sound will pass from one room to another due mainly to_________________. diffraction

11 The type of wave that travels in the same direction as the oscillations is __________
longitudinal

12 What occurs when two waves interact to form a bigger wave?
Constructive Interference

13 Destructive Interference
What occurs when two waves interact with each other to make a wave of smaller amplitude? Destructive Interference

14 The type of wave that oscillates perpendicular to the direction the wave travels is ________
transverse

15 When two or more waves occupy the same space at the same time.
interference

16 Unit of measurement for frequency
hertz

17 Distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next
wavelength

18 The time it takes for one cycle to occur.
Period

19 The names for the top and bottom points of a transverse wave.
crest , trough

20 The two types of waves are longitudinal and ______________
transverse

21 The part of a wave that demonstrates the amount of energy a wave has
Amplitude

22 Bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another
refraction

23 Longitudinal or mechanical
Sound is an example of a ____ wave. Longitudinal or mechanical

24 Sound needs a _________ in which to travel
medium

25 Noise-cancellation headphones work by __________ interference
destructive
