FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Amplitude?
Back
Amplitude is the height of the wave from the equilibrium position to the crest or trough, indicating the energy of the wave.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Diffraction?
Back
Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings, which causes waves to spread out after passing through a narrow aperture.

What is Wavelength?
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.

What is Frequency?
Back
Frequency is the number of complete waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
