Wave Properties Video

What is the primary characteristic of a wave regarding the transfer of energy and matter?

• Waves transfer both energy and matter.

• Waves transfer energy but not matter.

• Waves transfer matter but not energy.

• Waves transfer neither energy nor matter.

What does the frequency of a wave represent?

• The speed at which the wave travels.

• The distance between two consecutive crests.

• The number of waves passing through a given point per second.

• The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.

What is the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave if the wave's speed remains constant?

• They are directly proportional.

• They are inversely proportional.

• They are unrelated.

• Wavelength increases as frequency increases.

What is the amplitude of a wave?

• The distance between two consecutive troughs.

• The number of complete cycles per unit time.

• The maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.

• The speed at which the wave propagates through a medium.
