2

Front

What number represents the wavelength in a wave?

Back

1

Front

Front

What is the definition of a wave?

Back

A disturbance that transfers energy through space or matter.

Front

What is the formula for wave speed?

Back

Wave speed = frequency × wavelength

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

The maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

They are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
