Front

What are the parts of a longitudinal wave?

Back

Compressions and rarefactions

Front

What is the highest point on a wave called?

The crest

Front

What does the letter 'A' represent in a wave diagram?

Back

Wavelength

Front

How can the period of a pendulum be decreased?

Back

By shortening the length of the pendulum.

Front

What is the definition of amplitude in a wave?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of wavelength?

Back

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

Front

What is a trough in a wave?

Back

The lowest point of a wave.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for wave speed?

Back

Wave speed = frequency × wavelength.
