The friction between the air molecules and the water molecules causes energy to be transferred from the wind to the water. This causes waves to form. What is a wave? In science, a wave is defined as a transfer of energy.]]> 2017-11-02 17:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203026686 3045431 https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203028921 the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave]]> 2017-11-02 17:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203028921 3045431 https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203030443 the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium]]> 2017-11-02 17:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203030443 3045431 https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203032028 the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.]]> 2017-11-02 17:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203032028 3045431 https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203032608 Wave speed is the speed at which a wave travels. Wave speed is related to wavelength, frequency, and period by the equation wave speed = frequency x wavelength. The most commonly used wave speed is the speed of visible light, an electromagnetic wave.]]> 2017-11-02 17:31:48 UTC https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203032608 3045431 https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203033394 a wave of compression and rarefaction, by which sound is propagated in an elastic medium such as air.]]> 2017-11-02 17:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203033394 3045431 https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203034112 the range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends.]]> 2017-11-02 17:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/3045431/i9xclectjwk7/wish/203034112
