WAVES TEST

Front

What type of wave is a sound wave?

Back

Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

Front

What does the amplitude of a wave represent?

Back

The amplitude is the distance between the highest crest and the resting position of a wave.

Front

What is the term for the distance a wave travels before it starts to repeat?

Back

The distance is called the wavelength.

Front

What is the unit for measuring frequency?

Back

The unit for measuring frequency is Hertz.

Front

What form of energy is sound classified as?

Back

Sound is a form of energy.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature?

Back

The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second.

Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A transverse wave is a wave where the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

Front

What is the difference between pitch and loudness?

Back

Pitch refers to the frequency of a sound, while loudness refers to the amplitude of the sound wave.
