Wave Properties and Frequency Concepts

Which of the following is NOT a property of a wave?

• Height

• Length

• Color

• Speed

What does the frequency of a wave represent?

• The speed of the wave

• The height of the wave

• The number of cycles completed in a specific time

• The time it takes to complete one cycle

If a wave completes 3 cycles in one second, what is its frequency?

• 1 cycle per second

• 3 cycles per second

• 2 cycles per second

• 4 cycles per second

What is the period of a wave with a frequency of 4 cycles per second?

• 1 second per cycle

• 2 seconds per cycle

• 0.5 seconds per cycle

• 0.25 seconds per cycle

How are frequency and period related?

• They are equal

• They are directly proportional

• They are inversely proportional

• They are unrelated
