Front

What is the amplitude of a wave?

Back

The distance from the middle of the wave to a crest or a trough.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a primary color of LIGHT?

Back

Yellow.

Front

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

Back

Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.

Front

If a wave has a frequency of 0.5 Hz and a wavelength of 3 m, what is its speed?

Back

1.5 m/s.

Front

What is the angle of reflection in a wave diagram?

Back

The angle at which the wave reflects off a surface, equal to the angle of incidence.

Front

What are the primary colors of light?

Back

Red, Green, and Blue.

Front

Back

Red and green light are absorbed, blue light passes through.

Front

What color appears when white light passes through a magenta filter?

Back

Red and blue light pass through, green is absorbed.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in waves?

Back

They are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is the definition of wavelength?

Back

The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.
