*All waves have 4 basic properties* in this dir<~Jion
Amplitude-

Wavelength -

Frequency-

Speed-

Speed=--------- x - - - - - - - - -
1. A wave has a wavelength of 15 em and has a frequency of 10 waves/second. What is the speed of the wave?

2. The speed of a wave _on a rope is 50cmfs and it's wavelength is 1Ocm. What is it's frequency?

3. A wave is traveling with a velocity of 125m/sand has a frequency of 20 waves/second. What is the length of the
wave?
4. Create a transverse wave that has an amplitude of 10mm and frequency of 2 cycles/sec. Label its wave length.

5. Create a longitudinal wave that has a compression of 10 mm and a frequency of 2 cycles/sec.

Label its wavelength.

Now get your slinky again! Get with the same partner as before. Lay your slinky on the ground or table. You hold one
end while your partner holds the other. Make a transverse wave. Now make a longitudinal wave. Now pick one of the
waves and add a lot of energy. Describe your w a v e - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - N o w stay with the same type of wave and add just a
small amount of energy. Describe your w a v e - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
. . The more energy a wave has, the greater its amplitude and smaller
its wavelength.
Which wave has a greater frequency ... one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
Which wave has a higher energy ... one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
Sound is,_______________________________________

Sound travel as waves.

Sound is due to vibrations that make the molecules around them - - - - - - - -
Ex: Air particles are compressed and spread out
Travel at meters/second which is the Speed of SOUND.
Sound Depends On 3 things: ~--------------~
1. A to set up the sound waves Sound
2.A - - - - - - - - - - t o ________the waves Wave

3.A _________________ to _____________ them
Sound Vibrations: movement of matter or particles of matter
Sound travels from the vibrating object in until it
reaches a surface where it is or------

Can sound travel in empty space?? WHY????-----------------
Volume: Intensity/ Loudness ... Amount of sound energy reaching your OR how high the _ _ _ __
is. Depends on how far the vibrating object is moving as it goes back and forth and how far you are from the
source of the sound.
Pitch: the higher the frequency the higher the pitch. The lower the frequency the lower the pitch.
Depends on how fast the source of the sound is vibrating. Which one has the high pitch and low pitch .. i
