Labeling Waves: A Visual Guide to Understanding Wave Parts and Their Definitions

The video tutorial guides students through drawing and labeling the parts of a wave, including the crest, trough, amplitude, and wavelength. It provides definitions for each part and offers an interactive exercise using Ed Puzzle and Flipgrid for extra credit. Students are encouraged to use different colors for labeling and to write definitions for better understanding.

What is the first step in drawing a wave as described in the video?

• Drawing the middle line

• Drawing the wavelength

• Drawing the trough

• Drawing the crest

Which part of the wave is located above the middle line?

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

• Trough

• Crest

What is the term for the distance between the crest and the middle line?

• Frequency

• Trough

• Amplitude

• Wavelength

How is the wavelength defined in the video?

• Distance from crest to middle line

• Distance between two crests

• Distance between two troughs

• Distance between a crest and a trough

What should you do with the definitions of wave parts according to the video?

• Write them on the same paper as the drawing

• Memorize them without writing

• Ignore them

• Write them on a separate sheet

What tool is suggested for labeling parts of a wave in the practical exercise?

• Google Classroom

• Ed Puzzle

• Flipgrid

• Kahoot

What is the first question in the Ed Puzzle exercise about?

• Identifying the crest

• Measuring the wavelength

• Calculating the amplitude
