Definition: Crest
The highest point of a transverse wave
The lowest point of a transverse wave
The center of a transverse wave
The distance between two points on a wave
What is the frequency of a wave?
# of oscillations produced in a certain amount of time
The distance the wave oscillates from it's resting position
The lowest point of a transverse wave
Resting point of a wave - no wave movement
What is the amplitude of a wave?
Where there is no wave movement
The distance the wave oscillates from it's resting position
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave
What is a medium?
The lowest point of a transverse wave
The size of a wave
The middle of a wave
Matter through which a wave travels
What type of matter can waves travel through?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
All of the Above
ex. police car siren sounding lower pitch after the car passes
What type of interference is represented in this diagram?
Constructive
Destructive
Wavelength and Frequency have a(n) ________________ relationship.
Direct
Inverse
Exponential
No relationship.
What equation (tool) can you use to find the frequency of a wave?
γ = v/f
f = 1/p
p = 1/f
γ = γ*f

the amount of cycles a wave will complete in a given time.
the length of a wave from crest to crest or trough to trough
the amount of displacement a wave undergoes
What is being transferred with a wave?
medium
energy
matter
Chicken
