What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum distance that a point on a wave moves from its rest position. It represents the height of the wave.

Front

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

Back

Longitudinal wave.

Front

What is the difference between frequency and amplitude in waves?

Back

Frequency refers to how many wavelengths are completed in one second, while amplitude refers to the height of the wave.

Front

What do all waves transfer?

Back

Energy.

Front

How is frequency defined in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in one second.

Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating wave speed?

Back

Wave speed = frequency × wavelength.

Front

What is pitch in relation to sound waves?

Back

Pitch is the perceived frequency of a sound; higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches.
