A measurement of the number of waves that pass a point every second.

• frequency

• wavelength

• amplitude

• equilibrium

The measurement of 4 Hz means...

• 4 waves passed a point in 1 second

• the wave is 4 m high

• there are a total of 4 waves

• it took 4 seconds for a wave to pass

If a wave has a frequency of 10 Hz, how many waves pass by in 4 seconds? (hint: frequency is waves per second)

• 40 waves

• 14 waves

• 10 waves

• 2.5 waves

If a wave has a frequency of 50 Hz, how many waves pass by in 2 seconds? (hint: frequency is waves per second)

• 100 waves

• 50 waves

• 2 waves

• 25 waves

How can you measure wavelenght?

• crest to crest (or trough to trough)

• rest position to max height

• count the number of waves that pass in 1 second

• crest to trough

What is the wavelength?

• 20 m

• 25 m

• 5 m

• 10 m
