Wave Reflection, Absorption, and Transmittance -- A

Front

Which properties of waves make up color?

Back

Wavelength and frequency.

Front

The height of the wave from its resting point is called its ___________.

Back

Amplitude.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for frequency?

Back

Hertz.

Front

The bottom of a wave is called its _________.

Back

Trough.

Front

The _____________ of a wave is how many waves occur in one second.

Back

Frequency.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

The distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave.

Front

What does amplitude measure in a wave?

Back

The maximum height of the wave from its resting position.

Front

How is frequency related to wavelength?

Back

Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating frequency?

Back

Frequency (f) = Speed of wave (v) / Wavelength (λ).

Front

What happens to a wave when it hits a barrier?

Back

It can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.
