Front

What is the definition of a wave?

Back

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

Front

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

Back

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

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is frequency?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second, measured in hertz (Hz).

Front

What is amplitude?

Back

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