20-2: Properties of Waves

the number of waves produced in a given amount of time

• frequency

• amplitude

• wave speed

• wavelength

the maximum distance that the particles of a wave's medium vibrate from their rest position; wave's height

• frequency

• amplitude

• wave speed

• wavelength

the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave

• amplitude

• wavelength

• wave speed

• frequency

the speed at which a wave travels through a medium

• wavelength

• amplitude

• frequency

• wave speed

What is the correct label for frequency?

• Seconds (s)

• Grams (g)

• Newtons (N)

• Hertz (Hz)

If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled, what happens to the wavelength of that wave?

• the wavelength doubles

• the wavelength is halved

• the wavelength is stopped

• the wavelength remains the same

What is the correct equation for determining wavespeed?

• v = λ * f

• v = a * f

• λ = f * a

• f = λ * v
