What is the definition of frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time, typically measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

How is wavelength defined?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the same phase on a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: speed = frequency × wavelength.

Front

What type of wave has the highest frequency: Radio Waves, Red Light Waves, Blue Light Waves, or Infrared Light Waves?

Back

Blue Light Waves have the highest frequency among the options.

Front

What is the formula to calculate frequency?

Back

Frequency (f) = Number of waves (n) / Time (t) in seconds.

Front

Which wave carries the most energy: microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, or x-ray?

Back

X-ray carries the most energy among the options.

Front

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

Back

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (km/s).

Front

What is the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves?

Back

Mechanical waves require a medium (like air or water) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.

Front

What is an example of a mechanical wave?

Back

Sound waves are an example of mechanical waves.

Front

What is an example of an electromagnetic wave?

Back

Light waves are an example of electromagnetic waves.
