Waves

Front

What happens to the pitch of a sound wave if the distance C increases?

Back

The pitch would be lower.

Front

How do you measure the wavelength of a sound wave?

Back

From compression to compression.

Front

What is the part of a longitudinal wave where particles are spread apart called?

Back

Rarefaction.

Front

Which wave has the greatest amplitude: the blue wave or the red wave?

Back

The blue wave.

Front

What type of wave moves parallel to the direction it travels?

Back

Longitudinal wave.

Front

What is a wave?

Back

A disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

The maximum distance that the particles of a wave's medium move from their rest position.

Front

What is the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?

Back

In a transverse wave, particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while in a longitudinal wave, particles move parallel to the direction of the wave.

Front

What is a crest in a wave?

Back

The highest point of a wave.

Front

What is a trough in a wave?

Back

The lowest point of a wave.
