Lesson 1
1. What is a wave?
A wave is a disturbance traveling through matter from one point to another.
2. What are the different categories of waves? Give examples of each type.
Waves can be longitudinal, transverse, or a surface wave.
Longitudinal- Sound waves
Transverse- A rope is laid across a room and a pulse is then introduced to the rope. Energy moves with the wave as it goes across the room.
Surface- Waves on the shore of the ocean
Lesson 2
3. Define wavelength of a wave and then get a picture from the web of what a wavelength is.
The wavelength of a wave is the measure of one cycle of a wave.
4. Define frequency of a wave.
Frequency is how often particles move in a wavelength.
5. What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?
Frequency increases with wavelength.

6. What are constructive and destructive waves? ** For this question, instead of using the website, use page 498 in the book.
7. What is Doppler Effect? Provide a real life example.
