Waves in Communication

Front

What is transferred from one point to another in a wave?

Back

Energy

Front

At what points would you measure the wavelength of a sound wave?

Back

Compression to Compression

Front

What is the role of the electromagnet in a speaker?

Back

It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce sound.

Front

What is the definition of frequency in the context of waves?

Back

The number of waves that pass a certain point per second.

Front

In which unit is frequency measured?

Back

Hertz (Hz)

Front

What is a wavelength?

Back

The distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or compression to compression.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

They are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

The maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position.

Front

What type of wave is sound?

Back

A longitudinal wave.

Front

What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature?

Back

Approximately 343 meters per second.
