WIT T1 - Lesson 1

Front

What is the definition of wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point of the next wave.

Front

Which wave has the lowest frequency?

Back

Wave C has the lowest frequency.

Front

What does the crest of a wave represent?

Back

The crest is the highest point of a wave.

Front

What is an example of a longitudinal wave?

Back

Sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave.

Front

What are rarefaction and compression in waves?

Back

Rarefaction is the region in a longitudinal wave where particles are spread apart, and compression is where particles are close together.

Front

What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?

Back

In longitudinal waves, particles move parallel to the direction of the wave, while in transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

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

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum distance that particles in a medium move from their rest position when a wave passes through.

Front

What type of wave is a water wave?

Back

A water wave is an example of a surface wave.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.
