Unit 7 Waves Review

All waves carry 

• energy
• water
• sound
• matter

A period is

• Amount of time it takes a wavelength to complete one cycle.
• How many wave lengths happen in a second.
• An indication of the amount of energy in a wave.
• The distance between two crests or two troughs.

The number of wave cycles that pass a point per second:

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

Frequency is measured in

• Newtons
• Joules
• Hertz
• Decibels

The highest point on a wave is:

• the crest
• the trough
• the top
• the coast

The lowest point on a wave is the:

• Amplitude
• Crest
• Trough
• Wavelength

The distance between crest to crest or trough to trough is called?

• Wavelength
• Amplitude
• Wave Speed
• Frequency

Diagram below shows a displacement-time graph of an oscillating spring.

The spring undergoes …

• damping

• resonance

• interference

• force oscillation

When the disturbance of the wave is in the same direction as the path of the wave it is called a

• Transverse wave

• X ray

• Longitudinal wave

• Sound wave
