Front

What does the loudness of sound depend on?

Back

Back

Transverse waves.

Front

Which color of light has the lowest frequency?

Back

Red.

Front

What type of wave is characterized by particle motion being parallel to wave direction?

Back

Longitudinal waves.

Front

Define a wave.

Back

A disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

Transverse waves have perpendicular particle motion, while longitudinal waves have parallel particle motion.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

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

Front

What is frequency?

Back

The number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

They are inversely related; as wavelength increases, frequency decreases.
