Waves and Simple Harmonic Motion

What determines the speed of waves? Two Main Types of Waves
1.Eletromagnetic waves (radiation) 2.Mechanical waves (all of the rest) Longitudinal (parallel) Transverse

How are EM waves similar and different?

The two ways that EM waves are similar: they all travel at the same speed (3 x 102 m/s) and they are all transverse. The two ways that EM waves are different: they all have different wavelengths and they all have different frequencies.

2. simple harmonic motion is when something repeats a simple motion over and over like a swing. D is the answer

To find the speed of the wave you use v=f = 500 x .1 = 50 m/s. Then you use the equation v = d/t t = v/d = 2000/50 = 40 s so the answer is C. 3. D is answer. Solids carry waves fastest and gasses carry them slowest.

4. D is the answer because the graph shows as wavelength increases frequency decreases.

5. The vibration would be parallel to the motion of the wave which is D a longitudinal wave

6. Ultraviolet light

8 sound cannot travel though a vacuum so the answer is A

9. D is the answer because nothing travels faster than light

7.C. is the answer because more waves happen in the same amount of time so B has a higher frequency.

10. A is the answer because microwaves are an electromagnetic waves and travels at the speed of light
