Student Exploration: Waves (ANSWER KEY) Download 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 TM , 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.) Click Play ( ). How would you describe the motion of a transverse 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 ? Question: How do we measure and de
