How can you determine which wave has the greatest frequency in a diagram?

Back

The wave with the closest spacing between its crests or troughs has the greatest frequency.

Front

What does the amplitude of a wave represent?

Back

The amplitude of a wave describes the maximum height the wave rises above the level surface.

What is a trough in a wave?

Back

A trough is the lowest point of a wave.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.

What is a crest in a wave?

Back

A crest is the highest point of a wave.

Front

What is the formula for calculating wave speed?

Back

Wave speed can be calculated using the formula: Wave Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.
