GIZMOS STUDENT EXPLORATION : WAVES UPDATED ANSWER KEY
GIZMOS STUDENT EXPLORATION :WAVES - UPDATED STUDY
GUIDE
Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and
prompts in the orange boxes.
Vocabulary: amplitude, compression, crest, frequency, linear mass density, 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?
2. The two images show side views of ocean waves. How are the two sets of waves different?
Gizmo Warm-up
Ocean swells are an example of waves. In the Waves Gizmo, you will observe
wave motion on a model of a spring. The hand can move the spring up and
down or back and forth.
To begin, check that the Type of wave is Transverse, Amplitude is 20.0 cm, Frequency is 0.75 Hz, Tension
is 3.0 N, and Density is 1.0 kg/m. (Note: In this Gizmo, “density” refers to the linear mass density, or mass
per unit length. It is measured in units of kilograms per meter.)
1. Click Play ( ). How would you describe the motion of a transverse wave? Click Pause ( ). Notice the
crests (high points) and troughs (low points) of the wave.
2. Click Reset ( ). Choose the Longitudinal wave and increase the Amplitude to 20.0 cm. Click Play.
How would you describe the motion of a longitudinal wave? Click Pause. Notice the compressions in the
wave where the coils of the spring model are close together and the rarefactions where the coils are
spread apart.
It will go along with the direction of the wave.
The frequency of the waves on the left is a lot
higher than the waves on the right
