  1. In Question Describe the two types of waves we learned about yesterday. JUST DO IT 9.20.12 Daily Riddle erutufehtot

  2. Today in your notebooks

  3. Transverse Waves (Right) A Transverse wave is a type of wave that moves up and down (perpendicular) to the direction the energy travels. Perpendicular – at a right (90 degree) angle T 2. Amplitude: the distance the wave oscillates (goes up/down) from its resting position. The more the wave oscillates, the more energy it carries. Crest: high point trough: low point Wavelength: the distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave • What is a transverse wave? 2) What are features of transverse waves?

  4. Question and answer 1. When something is “amped” up, what does that mean? 2. How is amplitude related to the amount of energy the wave carries? 3. Define length. 4. What is a wavelength?
