higher the frequency
Wave A and B have the same amplitude, but different Wave A has a lower frequency
Wave A and B have the same amplitude, but Wave A has a higher frequency.
Wave A and B have the same frequency, but Wave A has a shorter amplitude.
Wave A and B have the same frequency, but Wave A has a taller amplitude.
A wave with a large wavelength will have a ______ frequency and _____ energy

The bigger the amplitude, the ________ energy carried by the wave.
more
less
Mediums act as "roads" for waves. Mediums are really just types of what?
Matter
Waves
Light
Energy
Which of these two waves carries more energy?
Low-frequency wave
High-frequency wave
Why can't sound travel in space?
There's no medium for it to travel through
Space is too cold
There isn't enough mass in space
There is, we just don't hear it
Which wave has more energy? Why?
Top wave because the amplitude is smaller
Bottom wave because the amplitude is larger
They are the same because the wavelengths are equal
What is the wavelength of this wave?
3
10
4
8
What is the amplitude of this wave?
3
-3
6
4
What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?
the wavelength would be halved
the wavelength would be doubled
the wavelength would stay the same
frequency does not affect wavelength
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.
The lambda symbol, λ represents ___________________.
