What is the highest point on a wave called?

Back

The highest point on a wave is called the crest.

Front

What does amplitude measure in a wave?

Back

Amplitude measures the height of the wave from the rest position to the crest or trough.

Front

What is the lowest point on a wave called?

Back

The lowest point on a wave is called the trough.

Front

What is frequency in terms of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of wavelengths that pass a point each second.

Front

True or False: A trough is the lowest point of a wave.

Back

True.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

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

Front

How does amplitude affect the energy of a wave?

Back

Higher amplitude means more energy in the wave.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

Higher frequency means shorter wavelength.

Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A transverse wave is a wave where the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave.
