What is a wave?

Back

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place through matter or space.

Front

How do you compare two waves with different wavelengths?

Back

The wave with the longer wavelength travels slower than the wave with the shorter wavelength.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in waves?

Back

As frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum distance that the particles of a medium move from their rest position.

Front

What is the speed of a wave?

Back

The speed of a wave is the distance it travels in a given amount of time.

Front

What is a medium in the context of waves?

Back
