Waves

Front

What is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase?

Back

Wavelength

Front

What type of wave has particles that vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion?

Back

Longitudinal wave

Front

If the frequency of a wave is decreased, what happens to the amount of energy?

Back

The amount of energy is decreased.

Front

What type of wave does not require a medium to travel?

Back

Electromagnetic wave

Front

What is the term for the height of a wave from its resting position to its crest?

Back

Amplitude

Front

What is the term for the number of waves that pass a point in one second?

Back

Frequency

Front

What is the speed of a wave if its wavelength is 2 meters and its frequency is 3 Hz?

Back

Speed = Wavelength x Frequency = 2m x 3Hz = 6 m/s

Front

What is the term for the maximum displacement of points on a wave from their rest position?

Back

Amplitude

Front

What type of wave requires a medium to travel through?

Back

Mechanical wave

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in a wave?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.
