Waves and Simple Harmonic Motion

What determines the speed of waves? The properties of the material (medium). Faster in solids and slowest in gasses Two Main Types of Waves
1. Electromagnetic (radiation) 2. Mechanical Transverse (Perpendicular) Longitudinal (Parallel)

How are EM waves similar and different?

They all travel at the speed of light and they are all transverse.

Units Chart for Waves 3x 108 m/s Hertz (Hz) m s speed of light wave speed frequency wavelength period
They are different in Frequency and Wavelength

Radio

Seven Types of Electromagnetic Waves from Longest to Shortest Wave Micro Infrared Visible (ROYGBIV) Ultraviolet X-Ray Gamma

To answer this question you must figure out which of the following swings back and forth with the speed being highest in the middile.

To find the amount of time, you first need to find the speed of the wave for waves. V=f. So you multiply 500 Hz by 0.1. You must think of the things that affect the speed of a wave. The properties of the material.

You must find the graph that best represents the relationship the higher the frequency the lower the wavelength

When you push the piston you have to figure out what kind of wave is made when you push a piston
