Student Exploration: Waves Vocabulary: amplitude, compression, crest, frequency, longitudinal wave, medium, period, power, rarefaction, transverse wave, trough, wave, wavelength, wave speed Prior K... nowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. A buoy is anchored to the ocean floor. A large wave approaches the buoy. How will the buoy move as the wave goes by? 2. The two images show side views of ocean waves. How are the two sets of waves different? Gizmo Warm-up Ocean swells are an example of waves. In the Waves Gi]mRŒ, you will observe wave motion on a model of a spring. The hand can move the spring up and down or back and forth. To begin, check that the Type of wave is Transverse, Amplitude is 20.0 cm, Frequency is 0.75 Hz, Tension is 3.0 N, and Density is 1.0 kg/m. Click Play ( ). 1. How would you describe the motion of a transverse wave? Click Pause ( ). Notice the crests (high points) and troughs (low points) of the wave. 2. Click Reset ( ). For the Type of wave, choose Longitudinal. Increase the Amplitude to 20.0 cm, and click Play. How would you describe the motion of a longitudinal wave? Click Pause. Notice the compressions in the wave where the coils of the spring model are close together and the rarefactions where the coils are spread apart. Yes itjustdependson thepower One is wide andthe other one is narrowand low the wave is moving in a upand down ratio good wavelength The wave isnt moving up and down but is moving to the right [Show More]
