Wave Properties

Front

What happens to the amplitude of a wave when more energy is added?

Back

The amplitude increases.

Front

What type of wave is characterized by particle motion parallel to the direction of wave propagation?

Back

Longitudinal wave.

Front

What is the primary thing that waves transfer from one location to another?

Back

Energy.

Front

What term describes the maximum height of a wave from its rest position?

Back

Amplitude.

Front

What type of wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of particle motion?

Back

Transverse wave.

Front

What is the relationship between energy and amplitude in waves?

Back

As energy increases, amplitude increases.

Front

Can sound waves travel through a vacuum? Why or why not?

Back

No, sound waves require a medium to travel through.

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

Transverse waves move up and down, while longitudinal waves move back and forth.

Front

What is the wavelength of a wave?

Back

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

Front

How does frequency relate to the energy of a wave?

Back

Higher frequency waves carry more energy.
