Waves

Front

What does it mean to transmit information?

Back

To transmit means to send information from one place to another.

Front

What is the process of converting information into digital code called?

Back

The process of converting information into digital code is called digitizing.

Front

What is the term used to describe the distance between two consecutive points on a wave, such as points C and G?

Back

The term used to describe this distance is wavelength.

Front

What is the highest point on a wave called?

Back

The highest point on a wave is called the crest.

Front

Which part of the wave is represented by the letter 'D'?

Back

The letter 'D' represents the trough of the wave.

Front

What is a wave?

Back

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

Front

What are the two main types of waves?

Back

The two main types of waves are mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?

Back

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

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of complete wave cycles that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz (Hz).

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position, indicating the wave's energy.
