Vibration and Waves part 1

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is its

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• velocity

The height of the wave from its resting point is called its

• wavelength

• amplitude

• velocity

• frequency

Longitudinal waves have:

• crests and troughs

• crests and compressions

• compressions and rarefactions

• troughs and rarefactions

Transverse waves have:

• crests and troughs

• troughs and rarefactions

• compressions and contractions

• rarefactions and crests

What is the amplitude of this wave?

• 3

• -3

• 6

• 4

What is the wavelength of this wave?

• 3

• 10

• 4

• 8

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
