Waves

Front

What is the term used to identify the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave?

Back

Wavelength

Front

What happens to the wavelength when the frequency of a wave increases?

Back

The wavelength decreases.

Front

Which part of a wave represents the highest point?

Back

Crest

Front

What is the measurement of the distance the particles move from the resting point of the wave?

Back

Amplitude

Front

What is the term for the lowest point of a wave?

Back

Trough

Front

What is the term for the number of waves that pass a point in a given period of time?

Back

Frequency

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in a wave?

Back

As frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for frequency?

Back

Hertz (Hz)

Front

What is the term for the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position?

Back

Amplitude

Front

What is the formula to calculate the speed of a wave?

Back

Speed = Frequency x Wavelength
