Book G Lesson 1 Unit 1 Review

The term that best describes the number of waves passing a point during a certain period of time.

• Amplitude

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Wave speed

Horizontal distance between the crests or between the troughs of two adjacent waves.

• Amplitude

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Wave speed

A local surf report provides the height of the wave from the trough to the crest of the wave. How does this relate to the wave amplitude?

• about twice the waves amplitude

• about 3 times the waves amplitude

• it is proportional to the waves amplitude

• It is the square root of the waves amplitude

What measurement is usually determined by measuring the crest of one wave to the crest of another wave ?

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Wave Length

• Wave Speed

Height of a wave

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Wave Length

• Wave Speed

It takes 3 seconds for a wave to pass to a certain point. Which property of the wave is measured?

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Wave Length

• Wave Speed

Highest point of a wave

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Wave Length

• Crest

What property of a sound wave is a sound's volume related to?

• Frequency

• Wave Length

• Amplitude

• Crest

Which property of a sound wave is related to the pitch of the sound?

• Frequency

• Amplitude

• Wave Length

• Crest

Four different waves A, B, C, D are moving through a medium. A has the greatest frequency, followed by B, C, D. Which of these waves will lose the most energy when passing through the medium?

• Wave A

• Wave B

• Wave c

• Wave D
