Question 1
1.
Waves are created by a vibration.
True
False
Question 2
2.
As a wave moves through a medium, the individual particle of the medium move from the source of the wave to another location some distance away.
True
False
Question 3
3.
Waves are a means of transporting energy from one location to another without actually displacing matter from one location to another.
True
False
Question 4
4.
An ocean wave will transport ocean water from near the middle of the ocean to a location near the store.
True
False
Question 5
5.
As mechanical waves move through a medium, particles of the medium undergo a periodic and repeated vibration about a fixed position.
True
False
Question 6
6.
Describe how a wave is different from a pulse.
Question 7
7.
Mechanical waves progate or move through a medium because ______________.
the particles of the medium are able to move along the curved wavelike pathway
one particle pushes or pulls on the adjacent particle which pushes or pulls on the next particle
the initial vibration of the medium causes the medium to assume the wavelike shape and this shape subsequently moves from one location to another.
Question 8
8.
Which of the following categories of waves require a medium in order to transport energy from one location to another?
mechanical
electromagnetic
Question 11
11.
Compare the direction in which particles of the medium vibrate for both waves. Reference the diagram in question #10 in your discussion.
