Wave Properties

Front

What is the definition of Amplitude?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum distance that a wave moves from its rest position. It measures the height of the wave.

Front

What does Frequency mean in wave properties?

Back

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

Front

What is Wavelength?

Back

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

Front

What is a Crest in a wave?

Back

A crest is the highest point of a wave.

Front

What is a Trough in a wave?

Back

A trough is the lowest point of a wave.

Front

What is the Medium in wave properties?

Back

The medium is the material through which a wave travels, such as air, water, or solid substances.

Front

How does Amplitude affect sound?

Back

Higher amplitude means louder sound, while lower amplitude means softer sound.

Front

How does Frequency affect sound?

Back

Higher frequency results in a higher pitch sound, while lower frequency results in a lower pitch sound.

Front

What is the relationship between Wavelength and Frequency?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula to calculate Wave Speed?

Back

Wave Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.
