What is a wave?

Back

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through space or matter, typically characterized by its amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define amplitude in the context of waves.

Back

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position, indicating the energy carried by the wave.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Explain frequency in relation to waves.

Back

Frequency is the number of complete wave cycles that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz (Hz).

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is diffraction?

Back

Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings, which causes the waves to spread out.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is reflection in wave behavior?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of a wave when it encounters a barrier or a different medium.
