MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Predict which wave has the highest amount of energy traveling through it.
Answer explanation
In a transverse wave, a higher crest corresponds to a higher amount of energy in the wave. This is called amplitude, which will be discussed later in this lesson.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Predict which wave is the longest.
Answer explanation
In a transverse wave, the length between two consecutive troughs or crests equals its wavelength, which will be discussed later in the lesson. A longer distance between two crests or two troughs equals a longer wavelength.

DROPDOWN QUESTION

Make a prediction to complete the following sentence:
The waves in diagram (a) are occurring most frequently because the wave repeats (b) times in one second. This measurement is called (c) , which will be discussed later in the lesson.

DRAG AND DROP QUESTION
1 min • 1 pt
The (a) of a wave depends on both its (b) and its (c) , which help determine how far it can travel in a certain amount of time. These two waves have the same frequency, but the wave with the longer wavelength travels farther. Therefore, its (d) is higher. Speed will be discussed further later in the lesson.
