WAVE PROPERTIES VIRTUAL LAB Review from the previous lesson: 1. What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave? Unlike electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to carry energy, mechanical waves do. 2. Give 2 real-world examples of mechanical waves. sound waves seismic waves 3. List, in order of increasing frequency, the 7 types of electromagnetic waves. radio microwave infrared visible ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray Part 1: Waves can be classified by the manner in which they cause particles to vibrate. A. This wave is a _[ transverse ]_wave because the energy moves_[perpendicular]_ to the direction the wave moves. B. This wave is a _[ longitudinal ]_ wave because the energy moves_[parallel ]_ to the direction the wave moves. Part 2 and Part 3: Waves transfer energy but not matter . Part 4: A. Data Table 1 Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Average Time (s) Time 2.12 (s) (s) 1.60 1.66 (s) 1.7 B. Data Table 2 Trial 1 (s) Time 0.86 Trial 2 (s) Trial 3 (s) 0.7 0.77 Average Time (s) 0.78 C. How do the average times compare between these 2 tables? These 2 tables' average times range greatly from one another. The period between Table 1 and Table 2 gets shorter as the tension rises. D. What was changed between Table 1 and Table 2? Medium Part 5: Label the amplitude, crest, equilibrium, trough and wavelength of this wave by double-clicking on the drawing and typing in the boxes.
