Back

Amplitude.

Front

Which part of the wave is shown at letter B?

Back

Crest.

Front

High frequency in EM waves equals?

Back

High energy and short wavelength.

Front

What part of the wave is shown at letter A?

Back

Wavelength.

Front

What is the definition of electromagnetic waves?

Back

Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through the vacuum of space and consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests or troughs of a wave.

Front

What is frequency?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in electromagnetic waves?

Back

As frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a wave's oscillation, measured from the resting position.
