Waves

Front

What is the term for when a wave bounces back after hitting a barrier?

Back

Reflection

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in waves?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is the definition of wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

How do you calculate the speed of a wave?

Back

The speed of a wave can be calculated using the formula: Speed = Wavelength × Frequency.

Front

What is an analog signal?

Back

An analog signal is a continuous signal that represents physical measurements, as opposed to a digital signal which represents data in discrete values.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for frequency?

Back

The unit of measurement for frequency is Hertz (Hz).

Front

What happens to the speed of a wave if the frequency increases while the wavelength remains constant?

Back

If the frequency increases and the wavelength remains constant, the speed of the wave will also increase.

Front

What is the significance of the amplitude of a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position, and it is related to the energy carried by the wave.

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

In transverse waves, the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while in longitudinal waves, the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
