Draw

Draw at least 2 different waves and show the wavelength.

Circle the one with a higher frequency.

Reminder: Wavelength has an inverse relationship with energy (opposite)

Amplitude has a proportional relationship with energy (same)

Match

Match the following

In the chat- how many waves accompany each color? How does that number of waves relate to the frequency?

Long wavelength

Lowest frequency

Med. long wavelength

Med. low frequency

Short wavelength

High frequency

Very short wavelength

Highest Frequency

• Long wavelength

  Lowest frequency

• Med. long wavelength

  Highest Frequency

Represents wavelength
This is often the "unknown"

Lamda

How often the pattern of waves recur in a set time

Frequency

Speed of the wave
Constant- 3.00x 10⁸m/s
ALWAYS the same

Velocity

​Use these symbols to calculate wavelength, or frequency

Labelling

Identify what each symbol means:

The names are on the symbol

Extra information is around the corresponding symbol
