Mrs. Liu goes swimming in the lake that is 60 m away. As she swims the wave has a frequency of 0.25 Hz. the water has a wavelength of 2.0 m and Mrs. Liu is swimming at 15m/s. What is the speed of the wave? Show your work below.

1

What does a wave carry?

1

Which is the speed of a wave equation?

5

A 220 Hz wave has a wavelength of 0.50 m. What is the velocity of the wave? Show your work below

6

Match the vocabulary term to its correct definition by dragging the definition next to the correct term.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
The height of a wave from the rest position (middle)		Amplitude
The distance between two similar points in a wave (crest to crest)		Crest
The lowest point of the wave (bottom)		Frequency
A disturbance that transfers energy from one location to another location		Trough
The highest point of the wave		Wave
The number of waves that pass a point per unit of time		Wavelength

Use the diagram of a wave below to answer questions 15-17. Assume each box is equal to 1 meter.

1

What is the wavelength (in m) of the wave above?

1

What is the amplitude (in m) of the wave above?

1

How many waves are shown in the wave diagram above?

1

Draw a wave with an amplitude equal to 3 meters and wavelength equal to 5 meters. You should have at least two full waves drawn. Assume each box is equal to 1 meter.

1

What is the frequency of this wave?

1

Label the diagram to indicate the difference between the hypocenter and epicenter of an earthquake.

1

Most earthquakes happen

1

Sequence the different layers of Earth by moving them to match the order presented on the illustration, from the start of the arrow down through the center.

atmosphere
inner core
outer core
mantle
lithosphere

1

Add an arrow and the labels "lower density" and "higher density" to show which direction of density increase through the layers of Earth.

1

What are the two metals that mostly compose the core?

1

waves travel through the interior of the Earth. waves arrive first at a seismic station and ___ waves will arrive second.

Body
Primary or P
Secondary or S

1

Use the drawing tools to label the P-wave, S wave, and surface waves on the seismogram.

1

Match the wave behavior with the correct term for that behavior.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Waves change speed and direction because c mediums have different densities		Refraction
Waves bounce off an object		Reflection
Waves travel in the same direction through an object		Transmission
