Waves and their Behaviors

What are the two types of waves?

• Translucent

• Light

• Reflection

• Mechanical

True or False: A wave is a disturbance and transfers energy and not matter.

• True

• False

How does a Transverse wave move?

• In a circular motion

• At a right angle or perpendicular

• Up and down

• In the same direction as the wave is going.

A medium is a what?

• A type of earthquake wave.

• A type of light wave or radio wave.

• A substance a wave goes through.

• A disturbance that transfers energy.

The equation of a wave speed is

• Wavelength = Wave speed x Frequency

• Wavelength = Wave speed/Frequency

• Wave speed = Wavelength x Frequency

• Wave speed = Wavelength/Frequency

What is the highest point of a wave?

• Trough

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Crest

What is the number of waves passing a fixed point in a certain amount of time.

• Amplitude

• Crest

• Frequency

• Trough

The wider the wavelength of a wave, the

• Lower the frequency

• The higher the frequency

What is the unit for Wavelength?

• meters

• Hz

• g/ml

• m/s

What is the unit for frequency?

• Hz

• m/s

• meter

• g/mL
