Define medium. what are some examples?

what types of waves require a medium to travel through? what types of waves do not need a medium to travel through?

how do waves travel? do waves transfer matter?

differentiate between longitudinal and transverse waves. provide examples of each.

what is a surface wave?

draw and label the different components of a transverse wave. (crest, trough, rest position, wavelength, amplitude, etc.)

draw and label the different components of a longitudinal wave. (compression, rarefaction, wavelength, etc.)

what wave property is the energy of the wave related to?

what are the two equations that can be used to calculate wave speed?

what is an oscilloscope used for?

how does constructive interference occur? what about destructive interference? draw an example of each.

describe a traveling wave. how is it produced?

describe a standing wave. how is it produced? what are nodes and antinodes?

what type of waves are sound waves? how does sound travel through the air?

what affects the speed of sound?

fill in the boxes with the appropriate medium to show how the speed of sound compares in each. (solid, liquid, gas)

describe wavelength and frequency. how are wavelength and frequency of a wave related?

fill in the blanks: a refers to a process that repeats. refers to how often something happens. a is the time it takes for something to happen.

what is pitch? what is it related to?

how are musical instruments classified?

describe the doppler effect.

fill in the boxes with the appropriate terms:
