C13L2 Wave Properties

Front

What happens to the energy of a wave when the amplitude increases?

Back

The energy of the wave increases.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a property of waves?

Back

Mass is not a property of waves.

Front

What is the crest of a wave?

Back

The highest point of a wave.

Front

Define a wave.

Back

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum distance a point on a wave moves from its rest position.

Front

What is frequency in relation to waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a given period of time.

Front

What is a trough in a wave?

Back

The trough is the lowest point of a wave.

Front

How does the wavelength affect the frequency of a wave?

Back

As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength?

Back

Wave speed = frequency × wavelength.
