Homework Help: Physical Science

Posted by mysterychicken on Monday, May 4, 2009 at 7:24pm.

I need help answering these two questions, can someone please help?

1.How does energy transfer by waves differ from energy transer my moving objects?

2.Define amplitude and frequency as they relate to a wave.
[I know amplitude is the height of a wave and frequency is how many wavelegths pass a given point per second]Would that answer the question?

Thanks!

1. Energy transfered from waves might only be absorbed at certain frequencies. I depends upon what kind of "wave" it is. Light and sound waves are very different.

2. Your expnanation is just fine.
