What type of wave is characterized by particle movement perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation?

Back

Transverse Wave

Front

Which wave has the highest frequency: Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3, or Wave 4?

Back

Wave 1 (assuming Wave 1 is the closest to the source of vibration).

Front

What is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave called?

Back

Wavelength

Front

What is the height of a wave from the rest position to the crest called?

Back

Amplitude

Front

What is the term for the number of waves that pass a point in one second?

Back

Frequency

Front

What is the speed of a wave if its wavelength is 2 meters and its frequency is 3 Hz?

Back

Speed = Wavelength x Frequency = 2m x 3Hz = 6 m/s

Front

What is the formula to calculate the speed of a wave?

Back

Speed = Wavelength x Frequency
