Electricity Lessons 5 and 6 Review

Front

What is Amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

Amplitude is the measurement of the distance the particles move from the resting point of the wave.

Front

What happens to frequency as the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave gets longer?

Back

As the wavelength gets longer, the frequency gets lower.

Front

How does frequency relate to energy in waves?

Back

The lower the frequency, the lower the energy.

Front

What carries energy from one place to another?

Back

Waves carry energy from one place to another.

Front

What is an example of a wave with a short wavelength, high frequency, and high energy?

Back

An example is an X-ray.

Front

Define Wavelength.

Back

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

Front

What is Frequency in wave terminology?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

How is energy related to frequency in electromagnetic waves?

Back

Higher frequency waves have higher energy.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

Front

What is a Crest in wave terminology?

Back

A crest is the highest point of a wave.
