Bill Nye Notes:
What are the three things that travel in waves?
What are three of the properties of waves?
Why does light break into patterns when it is run through thin slits?
Do X-rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
Define wavelength:
What causes waves on the ocean?
What are the waves in the Earth called (earthquake waves) ?
Define Frequency:
Define Amplitude:
What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading ?
What is it called when a wave bounces back and comes back to the source?
What is Sonar?
What are the three things that travel in waves?
- Sound
- Light
- Particles
What are three of the properties of waves?
- Wavelength
- Wave Frequency
- Wave Amplitude
Why does light break into patterns when it is run through thin slits?
- It's traveling in different wave frequencies
Do X-rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
- They have a higher frequency waves
Define wavelength:
- The length between the top and bottom of waves
What causes waves on the ocean?
- Wind causes waves on the ocean.
What are the waves in the Earth called (earthquake waves) ?
- Seismic Waves.
Define Frequency:
- The speed of waves under a certain amount of time
Define Amplitude:
- The Height of Waves from top to bottom
What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading ?
- Compression Waves
What is it called when a wave bounces back and comes back to the source?
- Reflection or Echos
What is Sonar?
- Sonar use sound waves to tell how far the waves, animals, and undersea earthquakes are.
