Fast and Curious: Unit 8 Lesson 4 - Waves as Energy (A)

Front

What is Amplitude?

Back

The maximum distance that the particles of a wave’s medium vibrate from their rest positions.

Front

What is Wavelength?

Back

The distance from any point on a wave to the corresponding point on the next wave.

Front

What does Material refer to in the context of waves?

Back

The material-solid, liquid, or gas-through which a wave can travel.

Front

What is a Longitudinal Wave?

Back

A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion.

Front

What is Wave Period?

Back

The time required for corresponding points on consecutive waves to pass a given point.

Front

What is the definition of Frequency?

Back

The number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.

Front

What is the relationship between Frequency and Wavelength?

Back

As frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa, for a given wave speed.

Front

What is a Transverse Wave?

Back

A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.

Front

What is Wave Speed?

Back

The speed at which a wave travels through a medium.

Front

What is the formula for Wave Speed?

Back

Wave Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.
