Total questions: 9
Worksheet time: 5mins
What measurement is found by measuring the distance from one crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave?
amplitude
frequency
range
wavelength
A wave pulse occurs at a certain point in three seconds. Which property of the wave can be measured?
amplitude
frequency
wave speed
wavelength
What is the wavelength of this wave?
1.5m
10m
5m
3m
What is the height of the crest of the wave?
1.5m
3.0m
5.0m
6.5m
Which term describes the number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time?
crest
frequency
wave speed
wavelength
A local surf report provides the height of the wave from the torugh to the crest of the wave. How does this relate to the wave's amplitude?
It is less than the wave's amplitude.
It is equal to the wave's amplitude.
It is about twice the wave's amplitude.
It is about half of the wave's amplitude.
Which of the following is NOT a quantifiable (measureable) property of a wave?
wavelength
wave speed
type of wave
frequency
How can frequency be represented in a mathematical representation?
Frequency can be represented in a model by showing a specific number of waves passing a point measured in a time period, often one second.
Frequency can be represented in a model by showing how wavelength and amplitude are related.
Frequency can be represented in a model by illustrating the difference between a crest and a trough.
Frequency can be represented in a model by showing a specific number of waves with different amplitudes.
The distance from the mid-point or rest position of a wave to the top of a crest or bottom of a trough is called
frequency
period
wavelenth
amplitude
