Front

What are the properties of waves?

Back

Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency.

Front

What happens to the brightness of a light wave with higher amplitude?

Back

A higher amplitude light wave will be brighter.

Front

What happens to the brightness of a light wave with lower amplitude?

Back

A lower amplitude light wave will be dimmer.

Front

Which properties of waves determine color?

Back

Wavelength and frequency.

Front

What do waves move?

Back

Waves move energy, not matter.

Front

What is the height of a wave from its resting point called?

Back

Amplitude.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum height of a wave from its resting position.

Front

How does wavelength relate to the color of light?

Back

Different wavelengths correspond to different colors of light.

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

How are amplitude and energy related in waves?

Back

Higher amplitude waves carry more energy.
