Properties of Waves Gr8

The distance between two

corresponding parts of a wave is its

• trough

• frequency

• wavelength

• amplitude

How often a wave occurs is the

wave’s

• crest

• frequency

• wavelength

• amplitude

The less energy a wave has, the

smaller its

• crest

• frequency

• wavelength

• amplitude

Frequency is measured in units

called

• periods

• nanoseconds

• hertz

• eras

All waves have wavelength, frequency, rest point, and speed.

• True

• False- amplitude

• False - go point

• False - focal point

The frequency of a wave remains constant if the medium,

temperature, and pressure do not change.

• True

• False - rate

• False - speed

• False - vibration

The speed, wavelength, and frequency of a wave are related by

a scientific theory.

• True

• False - nature

• False - action

• False - mathematical formula

The height of a wave’s wavelength depends on its amplitude.

• True

• False - trough

• False - crest

• False - strength

The amplitude of a(n) transverse wave is a measure of how

compressed or rarefied the medium becomes.

• True

• False - longitudinal

• False - latitudinal

• False - surface

Dividing the distance a wave travels by the time it takes to

travel that distance gives you the wave’s speed.

• True

• False - frequency

• False - strength

• False - rate
