Traditionally surfing prowess gained you social rank and power politically in the village. Commoners could

Objective The objective of this lab was to use standing waves in a resonance tube in order to measure the speed of sound. Standing waves were used due their constructive and destructive interference‚ which lead to nodes and antinodes in the wave.The nodes could be marked because they were silent‚ and the antinodes were loud. Hypothesis We expect to find a linear relationship between wavelength and period because the speed of sound is constant. The frequency will inversely change the wavelength

She paddled out it was a little hard because the waves kept getting stronger. Then she heard a surfer yell for help. Lily started to swim as fast

Uses of Electromagnetic Waves Radio Waves * TV and FM radio (short wavelength) * Direct line of sight with transmitter (do not diffract) * Medium wavelength – travel further because they reflect from layers in the atmosphere * Used for transmitting signals. Microwaves * Microwaves are used in satellite television broad casting. * It is used to transmit mobile phone signals between Mast‚ which may be up to 20km apart. * Microwaves are absorbed by water molecules

Radio waves and Microwaves Radio communications Radio waves are used to broadcast radio or television signals from transmitters‚ which are then converted into electrical signals with an aerial (which is made out of metal to absorb the radio waves) so you can hear and see them. When done so the aerial converts this wave into an electrical signal (because of the electromagnetic waves energy exciting particles in the aerial and causing them to oscillate/vibrate and thus create an electrical current)
