FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the definition of wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase on a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How is frequency defined in relation to waves?

Back

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

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

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, according to the wave equation: speed = wavelength × frequency.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a crest in a transverse wave?

Back

A crest is the highest point of a transverse wave.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a trough in a transverse wave?

Back

A trough is the lowest point of a transverse wave.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the letter 'A' typically represent in wave diagrams?

Back

The letter 'A' often represents the wavelength in wave diagrams.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the amplitude of a wave?

Back

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