Armando used yarn to create waves on sheets of graph paper. He recorded his wave data in the table. Which heading in the table describes wavelength?

• wave

• number of crests

• distance between crests

• height of crests

Which of these waves would transfer the most energy?

• low crest

• high trough

• low amplitude

• high amplitude

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

Which wave is carrying more energy and why?

• 2 - highest amplitude

• 1 - low frequency

• 3 - high frequency

• 3 - shortest amplitude

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

compare the wavelengths

• 1 has a longer wavelength

• 1 has a shorter wavelength

• 2 has a lower frequency

• 1 and 2 are the same height
