Wave Study Guide 3.1-3.4 Quiz on Wednesday, 12/18 Be able to define and give examples of the following terms. 1. Wave Characteristics- Carry ENERGY, not matter Medium- definition and examples ○ What is a vacuum? Transverse Waves (Be able to to draw and label as well) ○ Define using perpendicular and describing motion of particles in relation to the energy movement. ○ Line of Origin/ Baseline ○ Crests ○ Troughs ○ Wavelength ○ Amplitude Longitudinal/Compressional Waves (Be able to to draw and label as well) ○ Define using parallel and describing motion of particles in relation to the energy movement. ○ Compressions ○ Wavelength ○ Rarefactions Mechanical Waves ○ Medium or no medium needed? Electromagnetic Waves ○ Medium or no medium needed? ○ Electromagnetic Spectrum Shortest wavelength Longest wavelength 2. Wave Properties (Be able to to draw and label as well) Frequency ○ Length in relation to the amount of energy (suggest you draw an image to help you think and see it)  Amplitude Wavelength ○ Length in relation to the amount of energy (suggest you draw an image to help you think and see it) ○ ROY G. BIV shortest wavelength vs longest wavelength Speed Key Formula: ○ Speed = Wavelength × Frequency 3. Wave Behavior Reflection Absorption Transmission ○ Opaque ○ Translucent ○ Transparent Refraction Diffraction 4. Review of science concepts Qualitative data Quantitative Data State examples of a claim, evidence (qualitative and quantitative) and reasoning in a given response Dependent variable ○ What is it? ○ Where is it located on a graph Independent variable ○ What is it? ○ Where is it located on a graph Analyze data on a graph to draw conclusions
