Waves: Bill Nye Video
1. What are the three things that travel in waves?
- sound
- energy
- light
2. What are the three of the properties of waves?
-wavelength
- frequency
- amplitude
3. Why does the light break into patterns when it is run through thin slits?
~ Due to the different wave length of the different colors.
4. Do X-rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
~ Higher
5. Define wavelength.
~ The length of the wave or the length between two waves.
6. What causes waves on the ocean?
~ Wind causes waves.
7. What are the waves in the Earth called (earthquake waves)?
~ They are called seismic waves.
8. Define frequency.
~ How fast a wave travels.
9. Define amplitude.
~ How big the sound waves is/height of the wave.
10. What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading?
~ The waves are called compression waves.
11. What is it called when a wave bounces back and comes back to the source?
~ It echoes/reflection.
12. What is SONAR?
~ A system that uses sound waves to tell how far something is.
