Wave Matching
1.
Draw two wave cycles "in
phase" (crest/crest and trough/trough). Give one wave an amplitude
of 2 boxes and a wavelength 4 boxes. Draw
another wave with the same wavelength and an amplitude of 4 boxes.
| 2. a) How many wave cycles are there between the arrows in the picture shown on the right? _____ b) If the distant between the arrows is 1.80 cm, what is the wavelength of this wave? _______ c) Use a dotted line to show where the troughs are in the picture on the right. |

3. Draw a transverse wave (side view) with a wavelength of 6 boxes and an amplitude of 3 boxes.
a) Label two points on your wave that are in phase and 2 points that are "out of phase".
4. Draw a standing wave that is 2
wavelengths long.
a) Label the nodes with black
dots. Label the antinodes with an X.
5. Show diffraction through a slit.
6. What is the one thing that a
wave transfers? ___________
7. What is a pulse

11. Frequency - ______________
units ______ equation __________
f and T have an _____________ relationship.
12. Draw a wave with a very high frequency and a very low frequency.
high frequency low frequency
13. What kinds of overlapping
waves create constructive interference? - When a crest overlaps a
________________
destructive interference ? When a crest overlaps a _________________
14. What angle produces
destructive interference? _____________ constructive interference? _________
15. A radar gun is used to measure
the speed of a pro pitchers fastball. Explain how this technology
uses waves to
accomplish this task? (hint: it's just like the radar that cops use to catch
speeders.)
16. Label the wave characteristic below
with the letter M if it is determined by the medium of the
wave or S
if is determined by the source of the wave.
