FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the definition of a wave?
Back
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through space or matter, typically characterized by its frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is frequency in the context of waves?
Back
Frequency is the number of cycles of a wave that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz (Hz).
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How is wavelength defined?
Back
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase on a wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is amplitude in wave properties?
Back
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position, which is related to the energy of the wave.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between energy and amplitude in waves?
Back
Higher amplitude waves carry more energy, while lower amplitude waves carry less energy.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What distinguishes longitudinal waves from transverse waves?
Back
In longitudinal waves, particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of wave propagation, while in transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a compression in a longitudinal wave?
Back
A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where particles are packed closely together, resulting in higher pressure.
