Front

Define amplitude in the context of waves.

Back

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position.

Front

What is frequency in relation to waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point per second.

Front

Explain the concept of wave energy.

Back

Wave energy is the energy carried by ocean waves, which is related to the wave's height and speed.

Front

What is the formula for calculating wave speed?

Back

Wave speed = Wavelength × Frequency

Front

Describe the electromagnetic spectrum.

Back

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light.
