What is amplitude?
The number of waves that pass a given point in one second.
The distance measured from a crest to a crest or trough to trough.
The distance from a trough to a crest
The distance from the resting point to the top of a crest or bottom of a trough.
What is a wave?
a disturbance that transfers energy
a disturbance that transfers matter
any type of energy that makes particles move
any type of matter that vibrates back and forth
The waves are traveling at the same speed.
Which wave has the greater amplitude?
Wave on the Left
Wave on the Right
Both amplitudes are the same
The waves are traveling at the same speed.
Which wave has the greater frequency?
Graph on the Left
Graph on the Right
Both have the same frequency
Which statement is true about the two waves?
Both waves have the same amplitude, but the bottom wave has greater energy because of a greater frequency.
The top waves has greater energy because it has greater amplitude.
Both waves have the same frequency, but the top wave has a greater amplitude.
