Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 8mins
The full length of a wave from a crest to a crest is...
frequency
amplitude
node
wavelength
trough
What does the amplitude measure?
The distance from the middle resting line to the top of the crest
the distance from node to node
the distance from the bottom of the trough to the top of the crest
the distance from one crest to a crest later down the wave.
How can you calculate the velocity of a wave?
multiply the wavelength times the frequency
divide the wavelength by the frequency
multiply the wavelength times the frequency squared
divide the frequency by the wavelength
what is the velocity of a wave with the wavelength 10 meters per wave and frequency of 5 waves per second?
velocity is 2 meters per second
velocity is 15 meter per second
velocity is 50 meters per second
velocity is 50 waves per waves
velocity is 2 meters per wave
How does changing the amplitude affect the energy of a wave?
Increasing the amplitude increases the energy in the wave.
Increases the speed of the wave.
Changes the wavelength
Decreasing the amplitude increases the energy in the wave
Waves with move waves occurring per second have a higher...
amplitude
frequency
wavelength
node to node distance
How does the frequency change the energy in a wave?
Frequency does not affect wave energy
Increasing frequency decreases the energy in a wave
Increasing frequency increases the energy in a wave
Changing frequency only changes the wave velocity
Wavelength and frequency are related in what way?
directly; they increase and decrease together
directly squared; when one increases the other increases by the same factor squared
inversely squared; when one decreases the other increases by the same factor squared
inversely; when one increases the other decreases
Which waves have more energy based on their wavelength?
longer wavelengths because they have more distance
shorter wavelengths because they are moving faster
shorter wavelengths because their frequency is low
longer wavelengths because frequency is high
which wave has the longer wavelength?
the top wave
the bottom wave
neither because they are the same
neither because the wavelengths are measured incorrectly
Which wave would have the higher frequency?
the top wave
the bottom wave
we need more information to figure out the frequency
wavelength and frequency are not related
they are the same
Which wave has more energy?
the top wave
the bottom wave
they have the same amount of energy
we need more information to know how much energy is in these waves
energy has nothing to do with the parts of these waves
Which wave has the most energy?
A
B
C
D
We need more information to calculate the energy of these waves
Comparing waves A and D, which has more energy?
A, because it has the higher amplitude
D, because it has more frequency
They have the same wavelength so the have the same amount of energy
We need more information to calculate the energy in these waves.
D, because it has a lower amplitude
Comparing waves B and D, which wave has more energy?
B, because it has a higher amplitude
D, because it has a shorter wavelength
we need more information to calculate the energy in these waves
B, because it has a higher frequency
They are the same because they have the same amplitude
