DESCRIPTION
RS U2C1A7. Speed of Waves. Does the speed of waves depend on amplitude, frequency or something else?. link to movie. Question 1. Does the larger amplitude transverse wave seem to move much faster, much slower, or at about the same as the speed as the smaller amplitude transverse wave?. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Question 1 Does the larger amplitude
transverse wave seem to move much faster, much slower, or at about the same as the speed as the smaller amplitude transverse wave?
Question 2Does the larger amplitude
compression wave seem to
move much faster, much slower,
or at about the same speed
as the smaller amplitude
compression wave?
Watch computer simulation of sound waves with the same frequency, but different amplitudes.

Question 3 Does the larger amplitude sound wave seem to move
much faster, much slower, or at about the same speed as the smaller amplitude sound wave?
Question 4Based on the three examples shown, does the speed of either a transverse or compression wave seem to depend on its amplitude?
No, the speed of a transverse or compression wave does not seem to depend on its amplitude.
Question 5 Based on the three movie segments, do higher
frequency waves (either transverse or compression) seem to move much faster, much slower, or at about the same speed as lower frequency waves?
Higher frequency waves (either transverse or compression) seem to move at about the same speedabout the same speed as lower frequency waves.
Question 6 Does the speed of the sound waves
seem to depend on the medium (material) through which they move?
Yes, the speed of the sound waves seems to depend on the medium (material) through which they move.
