Back

Crest

Front

Which letter(s) represent the crest of the wave in a diagram?

Back

B & F

Front

What is the distance from one crest to the next crest in a wave called?

Back

Wavelength

Front

What property of the wave is represented by the letter 'B'?

Back

Amplitude

Front

What is the definition of wavelength in the context of waves?

Back

The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

Front

What does amplitude measure in a wave?

Back

The maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position.

Front

How is wave frequency defined?

Back

The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in a wave?

Back

They are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is the formula for wave speed?

Back

Wave speed = frequency × wavelength.
