FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the definition of wavelength?

Back

Wavelength (λ) is the distance between two consecutive points of the same phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

Wavelength (λ) = Speed of wave (v) / Frequency (f)

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

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

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

Amplitude (A) is the maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position, indicating the wave's energy.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A transverse wave is a wave in which the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
