Front

When a wave transfers energy across a lake, what happens to the particles?

Back

Particles move up and down while energy is transferred across the lake.

Front

What is a trough in relation to a wave?

Back

The lowest point of a transverse wave.

Front

Define frequency in the context of waves.

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum distance that the particles of a wave move from their rest position.

Front

What happens to the energy of a wave as it travels through different mediums?

Back

The energy can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected depending on the medium.

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A wave in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.
