How do you measure amplitude?

You measure from the middle line/resting point to the crest or trough

How will these two waves interact?

They will combine into a single wave with a larger amplitude

What's an example of a back and forth (longitudinal) wave?

sound waves, seismic waves, some slinky waves

How do you measure wavelength?

You measure the distance between the same spot on two waves

How does increasing energy affect the amplitude of a wave?

amplitude increases/the waves become taller

What is an example of two waves interacting?

some possible answers: a flashlight in a bright room, multiple people talking, noise cancelling headphones,

A low energy wave will have a (TALL/SHORT) amplitude

short

If a sound is very loud, will the sound wave have a high or low amplitude?

high amplitude

what type of wave is light?

up and down (transverse) wave

What type of wave is a sound wave?

back and forth (longitudinal) wave

If a sound is very quiet, will the sound wave have a high or low amplitude?

low amplitude

how does increasing energy affect wavelength?

the wavelength will be shorter/the waves will be closer together

What is an example of an up and down (transverse) wave?

ocean waves, electromagnetic radiation, a crowd doing a wave, some slinky waves

Will a floating object in the ocean eventually reach the shore? (assume there is no wind)

no! waves only move energy, not matter.

How will these two waves interact?

They will cancel each other out

How many wavelengths are in this diagram?

3

A very low sound, like a tuba, will have a (LONG/SHORT) wavelength

long

What are the two different types of waves? How do they move?

up and down (transverse) waves, and back and forth (longitudinal) waves

A very high sound, like a whistle, will have a (LONG/SHORT) wavelength

short

Can you hear sound in space? Why or why not?

No. Space is a vacuum, which means there's no air. Sound needs a medium.
