Question
Match the term on the left with the appropriate definition on the right. Use each answer only once. 26. Gravity Wave 27. Wind Wave 28. Transitional Wave 29. Capillary Wave 30. Orbital wave a. A wave in which particles of the medium (water) move in circular paths. b. The first wave to form when the wind blows and has a wavelength less than 1.73 cm. c. A type of gravity wave formed by the transfer of wind energy into the water d. Wave with wavelength greater than 1.73 cm, whose restoring forces are gravity and momentum. A wave moving through water deeper than 1/20th but shallower than ½ it's wavelength. e.Explanation / Answer
26 -d (a wave propagated on a liquid surface or in a fluid through the effects of gravity.)
27 -c (gravity wave formed by the transfer of wind energy over the water)
28 -e (A wave with a wavelength of 200m is a transitional wave in a water depth of 50m)
29 -b (a tiny wave with a wavelength of less than 1.73 cm, whose restoring force is surface tension; the first type of wave to form when the wind blows)
30 -a (an atomic orbital that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom.)
