What is the definition of a trough in a wave?

Back

The trough is the lowest point of a wave.

Front

What does the letter 'A' typically represent in a wave diagram?

Back

Wavelength.

Front

How is wavelength defined in terms of wave structure?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in waves?

Back

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

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

Back

Approximately 343 meters per second.

Front

What are electromagnetic waves?

Back

Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the speed of a wave?

Back

Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.
