Front

What is the definition of a wave?

Back

A disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

The maximum distance from the rest position to the crest or trough.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves move parallel.

Front

What is the formula for calculating wave speed?

Back

Wave speed = frequency × wavelength.
