20. Draw a transverse wave with a rest position.

21. A pirate ship is trying to locate a treasure lost on the floor of the ocean. They use a sonar device to locate it. The sound wave
they sent out took 4 seconds to travel from sonar device to the treasure and back, what is the depth of the sunken treasure?
(Hint: the speed of the sound wave is 1530m/s)

4 x 1530 = 6120 6120 / 2 = 3060 meters

22. Mechanical Waves are longitudinal and transverse waves.

23. The type of waves that can travel through space are EMS waves

24. These are the 3 ways a tsunami can occur:

Underwater earthquake or volcanoes or landslide

27. Gamma Rays have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength.

28. Radio radiation has the lowest energy.

29. Gamma Rays radiation has the highest energy.

30. In visible light going from red Æ violet what happens the frequency and wavelength?
Frequency increases while wavelength decreases

31. Sterilizing equipment in a medical lab uses what type of radiation?

Ultraviolet and Gamma

32. Cell phones use what type of radiation?

Radio Waves and Microwaves

33. What are the two formulas to calculate speed?

S= Distance S= Wavelength x Frequency
Time

34. Using the formula to find frequency decided if they are accurate speeds? They are not accurate the two speed answers are way
off from one another

Time (Secs) Waves in 5 meters Wavelength (m) Frequency (Htz) Speed 1 Speed 2
1.25 2.5 0.35 2.5/1.25 = 2 Htz 5/1.25= 0.35x2= 0.7m/s
4m/s
1.5 3.5 1.0 3.5/1.5= 2.33 Htz 5/1.5= 3.33 1.0 x 2.33 = 2.33 m/s
