Waves

The length from one crest of a wave to the next crest is called

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Hertz

The number of waves in a certain period of time is called

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Hertz

The height of a wave from the origin/rest position is called

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

• Frequence

• Hertz

The unit for the number of waves in a second

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Hertz

The highest point of a transverse wave is called the

• Trough

• Crest

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

The lowest point in a transverse wave is called the

• Trough

• Crest

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

The formula that relates frequency, speed, and wavelength is:

• frequency = speed x wavelength

• wavelength = speed x frequency

• speed = wavelength x frequency

• speed = wavelength/frequency

What 3 factors affect the speed of a wave?

• Frequency

• Medium

• Air

• Pressure

• Temperature

How is a longitudinal wave different from a transverse wave?

• Transverse Waves move vertically, and Longitudinal waves compress and refract horizontally.

• Longitudinal Waves move vertically, and Transverse waves compress and refract horizontally.

• Longitudinal Waves change to Transverse Waves as they speed up.

• Transverse Waves travel through only air and Longitudinal Waves travel only through water.
