Characteristics of Waves

A rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another, not matter.

• Amplitude

What is the distance from one crest to another?

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Wavelength

• Trough

What is the distance between the crest and the resting point (center) of the wave?

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Wavelength

• Trough

The bottom, or valley, of a wave

• Crest

• Frequency

• Wavelength

• Trough

The top, or peak, of a wave

• Crest

• Frequency

• Wavelength

• Trough

True/False: As amplitude increases, energy increases.

• 
• 

True/False: The longer the wavelength, the more energy the wave has

• 
• 

True/False: Increasing the wavelength, decreases the frequency of the wave
