Wave Reflection, Absorption, and Transmittance

Front

What is the frequency of a wave?

Back

The frequency of a wave is how many waves occur in one second.

Front

What are the properties of waves?

Back

The properties of waves include amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.

Front

What does a higher amplitude light wave indicate?

Back

A higher amplitude light wave will be brighter.

Front

What does a lower amplitude light wave indicate?

Back

A lower amplitude light wave will be dimmer.

Front

Do sound waves need matter to travel?

Back

Yes, sound waves need matter to travel.

Front

Do light waves need matter to travel?

Back

No, light waves do not need matter to travel.

Front

What is amplitude in relation to waves?

Back

The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave from its resting point.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

Higher frequency means shorter wavelength, and lower frequency means longer wavelength.

Front

What is the speed of a wave?

Back

The speed of a wave is the distance it travels in a given amount of time.
