Front

What type of wave is pictured?

Back

Longitudinal wave

Front

Define wavelength.

Back

The distance between successive crests of a wave.

Front

What is the formula for wave speed?

Back

Wave speed = frequency × wavelength

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

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.
