A wave travels right along a rope. A bit of yarn tied to the rope moves up and down as the wave passes. What type of wave is shown?

A student pushes and pulls one end of a slinky so the coils move back and forth in the same direction the disturbance travels. What type of wave is modeled?

A water wave moves across a pan, and a floating cork mostly bobs up and down while the wave travels sideways. What wave type does the cork's motion show?

A sound wave moves from a drum through air. Nearby air molecules vibrate forward and backward along the same line the sound travels. What wave type is this?

A stadium crowd wave moves around the arena while each person mainly stands up and sits down. Which wave type best matches this motion?

A longitudinal wave travels along a slinky. How should a student measure the wavelength of this wave?

On a guitar string, a pulse travels toward the bridge while one marked spot moves above and below its rest position. What wave type is traveling on the string?

A line of toy cars is bumped from one end, making cars bunch together and spread apart in the same direction the disturbance moves. What wave type is modeled?

In a transverse wave diagram, the highest point is marked with a dot. What is this part called?

A transverse wave diagram has its lowest point marked below the rest line. What is this part called?

In a slinky model, several coils are crowded close together as the wave moves forward. What is the crowded region called?

In a longitudinal wave model, a section of slinky coils is spread farther apart than normal. What is this spread-out region called?

A transverse wave diagram shows the distance from one crest to the next crest. What wave property is being measured?

A sound wave travels straight from a speaker to a wall. Which particle-motion description matches the air as the sound passes?

A transverse wave moves east across a rope. Which motion should a marked bead on the rope show?

A longitudinal wave moves through a spring from left to right. Which particle-motion diagram would match the spring coils?

A student shakes a rope up and down, then sends sound through air from a speaker. Which comparison is correct?

A teacher compares a water ripple with a push-pull slinky wave. The cork on the water bobs, and the slinky coils move forward and back. Which comparison fits?
