Wave Properties

Front

What is a trough in a wave?

Back

A trough is the lowest point of a wave, where the wave dips down.

Front

What property of waves is measured in meters?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a wave's displacement from its rest position.

Front

What is the medium in which waves travel?

Back

The medium is the substance or material through which a wave travels, such as air, water, or solid materials.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the speed of a wave?

Back

Speed = Wavelength x Frequency.

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

As the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa.

Front

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

Back

Frequency.

Front

What is the highest frequency wave among these options: 1, 2, 3, 4?

Back

Wave 4 has the highest frequency.

Front

What is the term for the distance between two consecutive crests of a wave?

Back

Wavelength.
