What is a wave?

• 1. A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another

  2. 

• 1. is the distance FroM any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave

  2. 

• 1. 

  2.  is a Measure of how far the particles in the medium Move away
     From their

  normal rest position

  1. 

Spell the word that means ( time required for one wave cycle)

how do we measure the frequency of a wave?

• Cm

• Cm2

• Meter

• Hertz (Hz)

One hertz equals

• 1 cycle per second

• 5 cycles per 5 seconds

• 3 cycles per 2 seconds

Some of the wave’s energy stays in the

• Wave length

• Medium

• Amplitude

Amplitude is

• The speed at which a wave travels

• Time required for one wave cycle

• 1. 

  2. is a Measure of how far the particles in the medium Move away
     From their

  normal rest position

  1. 

If the time from one crest to another is 5 seconds then the frequency is

• 0.2hz

• 1 over 5 hz

• 5hz

ground shifts.

• True

• False

Hertz is used to express

• Frequency

• Time

• Speed

Wave length is

• Is the distance from any point on the wave to an identical point next to it.

• The speed of the wave

• The length and width of the wave
