It is a repeating pattern of motion that transfers energy

​

​What is a wave?

All waves share the same properties

​

Wave Properties

​

​Can you tell what kind of wave the boy is producing?

Waves have a crest, trough, wavelength and amplitude​

Wave properties

Multiple Choice

What is the crest of a wave?

• A. The lowest point of a wave

• B. The highest point of a wave?

• C. The length of a wave

• D. The height of a wave?

Multiple Choice

What is the trough of a wave?

• A. The lowest point of a wave

• B. The highest point of a wave?

• C. The length of a wave

• D. The height of a wave?

Waves have different patterns. What do you notice about these waves?​

Waves can have high and low amplitudes

​Waves can have short or long wave lengths

​

Multiple Choice

What is label A?

• A. Wavelength

• B. Amplitude

• C. Trough

• D. Crest

Multiple Choice

What is label B?

• A. Wavelength

• B. Amplitude

• C. Trough

• D. Crest

You will now be scientisits and observe waves

Draw wave 1 with a high amplitude and wave 2 with a low amplitude​

Are the amplitudes or wavelengths the same for both waves? Are they different?
