Property of Waves

Front

What do waves transfer from one place to another?

Back

Energy, but not matter.

Front

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if its frequency is doubled while the speed remains constant?

Back

The wavelength halves.

Front

What type of waves require a medium to pass?

Back

Mechanical Waves.

Front

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

Back

Wavelength = Speed / Frequency.

Front

What is the lowest pitch that the average human can hear?

Back

20 Hz.

Front

If sound with a frequency of 20 Hz travels through air at a speed of 400 m/s, what is its wavelength?

Back

20 m.

Front

What do all waves carry?

Back

Energy.

Front

What are mechanical waves?

Back

Waves that require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel.

Front

What are electromagnetic waves?

Back

Waves that do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

The number of waves that pass a point in one second.
