1. Short Story - Roxi and the Wave
A Wave is a periodic up-and-down movement of water.
Motion is where individual parts cycle up-and-down, or back-and-forth. .
It looks like something is actually moving, but in reality it's the distortion .
moving where one part makes the next part move. Distortion is a change.
in the shape of an image resulting from imperfections in an optical system, .
such as a lens. There are many different types of waves. Some that are .
involved in Wave Motion are as followed: Tranverse waves, Light waves, .
Compression waves, Sound waves, and Circular waves. An up-and-down .
motion creates Transverse waves. Light waves are caused by up-and-.
down motions of electric or magnetic fields, thus making them transverse .
waves. Back-and-Forth motion creates compression waves. .
A loudspeaker cone moves back-and-forth to create a sound wave. .
In cases where the material moves in a combination of transverse and .
compression ways, this creates circular waves.Characteristics that make .
up waves are it's: wavelength, amplitude, velocity, and frequency.
Wavelength is the distance between wave crests. Amplitude is the height.
of the wave. Velocity is the measurement of how fast a crest is moving .
from a fixed point. Frequency describes the number of cycles that occur .
in a given time period. .
Some formulas are Frequency = Velocity/Wavelength or Velocity = .
Wavelength X Frequency. Frequency is measured in hertz. This shows the .
relationship between frequency, wavelength, and velocity. When waves.
move through material, they're velocity usually changes. When a wave .
meets up with an abstacle, it is transmitted, reflected, and absorbed. .
When a wave meets the edge of an abstacle, diffraction occurs when .
it bends slightly. Diffraction is a change in directions and intensities of a .
group of waves after passing by an abstacle or through an aperture .
whose size is approximately the same as the wavelength of the waves. .
Waves-ripples, ridges, and hollows moving over the water are the cause.
Peter John Graham's book, The French New Wave: Critical Landmarks, debates the social and political implications of the New Wave Movement. Graham believes that the New Wave revolution was a product of youth rebellion in a post war era. ... According to Graham the French youth were drawn to New Wave films because of the rebellious nature that connected them: "Many New Wave films spoke to young audiences about their lives. ... The teenage adolescents of the time were the heart and soul of the New Wave movement. ... The French New Wave Cinema movement was not only a revolution in the ar...
One environment that influences identity is the organised group of, "The Wave." ... " Laurie's argument with Amy states that there is a lack if individuality, as The Wave has taken over the original members, and the idea of the wave started by Ben Ross in his History class. The simile influences the reader to think about what is happening in the wave. ... Not only does The Wave influence the student's identity, it appears as though the student's identity is synonymous with The Wave. The Wave is one way that is shown to influence the student's identity. ...
Time rules life without love in [Like as Waves]. ... [Like as Waves] displays how human kind constantly battles time and it's repercussions. ... "Like as Waves" portrays this life with out love as an unbearable struggle. ... [Like as Waves] portrays aging, a natural coming of time, as the enemy. ... Time rules life without love in [Like as Waves]. ...
The wave is about a history teacher whose name is Ben Ross. ... They called the group that wave and they made a handshake, and a symbol. ... She decided to drop out of the wave. ... Laurie and David were talking one night and David brought up that she still was not in the wave, and she needed to join the wave. ... The wave started to get very to serious, kids started to threaten and even beat up other kids that weren't in the wave. ...
Daley and many high ranking officials in the city of Chicago's government were warned in advance of the potentially fatal effects of such a heat wave, but as temperatures soared over 100F (with a heat index nearing 130F) very little was done. In his book Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago, Eric Klinenberg brings to light how a number of social, political, ecological, and economical factors aligned to create one of the largest and most traumatic meteorological events in recent history. ... The group that was most affected by the events of the July, 1995 heat wave was the i...
Sound Waves Sound is everywhere. ... These mechanical waves can best be described as producing longitudinal waves. ... (Ludwig) These longitudinal waves can also sometimes be referred to as pressure waves. ... The amount of energy used to start the sound wave is called the wave's intensity. ... Bass waves move a lot slower than high frequency waves and sound a whole lot different to people. ...
The word tsunami is derived from the Japanese word meaning seismic sea wave, a large ocean wave caused by an undersea earthquake. ... Tsunami waves have been known to travel hundreds of miles, if not more, before the waves finally come ashore on a coast line. As the waves travel a distance, they pick up speed which can cause a deadly ending when the waves reach the coastline. ... As the waves progress towards the coastal region, the speed of the wave begins to die down as the height begins to increase. ... Tsunami waves are hard to predict because specialists have trouble deciding the actu...
Tidal waves are called "tsunamis" by the Japanese. "Tsunami" actually means "harbor wave", and this kind of wave is very destructive. ... Tidal waves can be formed in many different ways. ... Tidal waves can rise up to 1,000 feet. ... In these ways, tidal waves are alike. ...
