5 QUESTION! please help!

Answer 1

To determine the amplitude of a wave, you would need to know the

distance from the crest to the trough.
maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position.
number of cycles in a given period of time.
the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave.

Answer 2

If asked to describe a wave, you could say waves are the

disturbance of energy in a material.
continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.
movement of particles within a medium.
repetitive transfer of particles from one medium to another.

Answer 3

The disturbance that occurs as longitudional waves travel through a medium can be described as a series of

oscillations and refractions.
destructions and constructions.
propagations and compressions.
rarefactions and compressions.

Answer 4

Electromagnetic waves differ from other types of waves because they are

a continuous transfer of energy.
able to travel through a vacuum.
a visible form of energy.
able to move particles in a medium.

Answer 5

A wave is traveling through a medium. As it travels, it displaces particles of matter in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This type of wave is a

longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.
transverse wave because of the way the particles are displaced as the wave passes through.
longitudinal wave because it moves forward through a medium causing the particles to vibrate.
transverse wave because it is not traveling in a vacuum and the particles are moving.
