PS.4.A

The number of waves passing a given point each second is:

• Frequency

• Wave speed

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

Tags

PS.4.A

What is the correct formula for wave speed?

• Wave speed = frequency x wavelength

• Wave speed = amplitude x wavelength

• Wave speed = amplitude x period

• Wave speed = frequency x period

Tags

PS.4.A

Parts of transverse wave.

• Compression

• Crest

• Trough

• Rarefaction

Tags

PS.4.A

Parts of a longitudinal wave.

• Compression

• Crest

• Trough

• Rarefaction
