Draw the wavelength between 2 ocean waves.
Define the word frequency
How can wavelength be measured?
Draw the amplitude in for a wave created by a rope between 2 people
Draw a wave with a high frequency.
Draw a wave with a low frequency
Draw a wave where the wavelengths are long
What happens to the wave’s frequency if its wavelength is increased?
Musical instruments produce high and low pitches. How does the
wavelength of a high pitch compare to wavelength of a low pitch?
10. Musical instruments can play softly or loudly. Relate the volume to the
amount of energy produced by the instruments.
11. When you increase or decrease the volume the TV which property of the
wave is changing?
12. Create a model of a wave that shows how the energy of a wave is related
to its’ amplitude.
13. You observed a prism in one of the wave rotation stations. Describe how a
prism works on light.
14. What can cause light to keep from moving in a straight line?
15. Provide a real life example of absorption.
16. Create a model of a system showing how a wave is absorbed, reflected,
and transmitted. You must include a title, labels identifying parts of the
drawing, use scientific words, and include an explanation of the drawing.
17. What do waves transfer from place to place?
18. Compare light waves to sound waves
19. Define a wave.
20. Photography primarily involves which type of wave behavior?
21. Give an example from the waves rotation lab that shows how waves
transfer energy when they interact with matter.
22. Define and draw a model of a digital signal.
23. Define and draw a model of an analog signal.
24. Compare digital signals to analog signals.
25. Provide evidence to prove that digital signals are more reliable than analog
signals.
