integrated science b final exam UPDATED
Study Guide QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
what is a standing wave - CORRECT ANSWERS a wave that appears to
stay in one place
how is a standing wave created? - CORRECT ANSWERS when waves
of identical frequency interfere with one another
compare transverse and compressional waves - CORRECT ANSWERS
transverse waves make matter move at right angles; compressional waves
make matter move back and forth in the direction the waves travel
wave diffraction - CORRECT ANSWERS Bending of waves around
obstacles that produces circular waves
wave reflection - CORRECT ANSWERS waves "bounce back" from an
obstacle
wave refraction - CORRECT ANSWERS the bending of waves
wave interference - CORRECT ANSWERS the phenomenon that occurs
when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium
what is frequency - CORRECT ANSWERS number of waves per second
How is frequency measured? - CORRECT ANSWERS Hertz
, What is wavelength? - CORRECT ANSWERS distance between crests
How is wavelength measured? - CORRECT ANSWERS crest to crest or
trough to trough
what is amplitude - CORRECT ANSWERS Height of a wave
How is amplitude measured? - CORRECT ANSWERS decibels
apply the speed equation - CORRECT ANSWERS the equation for a
wave speed can be used to calculate the speed of a wave when both the
wavelength and frequency are known; s= m * w
doppler effect - CORRECT ANSWERS A change in sound frequency
caused by motion of the sound source, motion of the listener, or both.
what happens to the wave during the doppler effect - CORRECT ANSWERS
since the distance between the sound source and observer is changing the
wave becomes shorter
what do you really see when you see color - CORRECT ANSWERS you
see light that reflects of another object. that reflects into our eye as a color
what graph would you use to show how trends and data changes over time -
CORRECT ANSWERS a bar graph
what graph would you use to show how a quantity is broken down into parts -
CORRECT ANSWERS circle graph
