PHYS-1307 6172-21542 Waves Gizmo Correct Questions And Answers Student Exploration: Waves Vocabulary: amplitude, compression, crest, frequency, longitudinal wave, medium, period, power, rarefaction, transverse wave, trough, wave, wavelength, wave speed Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. A buoy is anchored to the ocean floor. A large wave approaches the buoy. How will the buoy move as the wave goes by? A buoy will move down and up as the wave goes by. 2. The...

Deselect the Lights on checkbox. What is the motion of the green dot? The green dot is going in a circle. In a combined wave, the motion of the medium is circular. So, each point of the spring moves in a circle as the wave is transmitted from left to right. C. Click Pause. Compare the crests (high points) to the troughs (low points). What do you notice? The crests are more spaced out and the troughs are closer together. Combined waves, such as ocean waves, do not look exactly like transverse wav...
