Waves
1. What is a wave?
A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location.

2. What are the different categories of waves?
The first kind of wave is a transverse wave that moves perpindicular through a medium. It is like when you hold out the slinky from to ends and move it. The slinky starts to carry the energy through. The second kind of wave in a longitudinal, which moves parallel through a medium. This is when you move a slinky back and forth.

4. Define the frequency of the wave
how often the particles of the medium vibrate when a wave passes through the medium.

5.What
is the relationship between wavelength and frequency? Screencapture the
interactive to show the relationship between wavelength and frequency
The more frequency there is, the smaller wavelength there is.
The more frequency there is, the smaller wavelength there is.
6.What
are constructive and destructive waves?
A constructive wave is a medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction and creates a bigger wave. A destructive wave is when to interfering waves come together and destroy each other completely.

7. What is the Doppler effect?
