Waves

Front

The two types of mechanical waves are ______________ and ____________.

Back

Longitudinal, Transverse

Front

Which wave has a greater frequency?

Back

Wave A has a greater frequency.

Front

What is a Longitudinal Wave?

Back

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

Front

The measure of energy in a wave is called ______________.

Back

Amplitude

Front

What is a Transverse Wave?

Back

A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.

Front

What is Wavelength?

Back

The distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.

Front

What is Frequency?

Back

The number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

As frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is the formula for wave speed?

Back

Wave speed = Frequency × Wavelength.

Front

What is Amplitude?

Back

The maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position, indicating the energy of the wave.
