Identifying Patterns in Sequences

Front

What happens to energy with a larger amplitude?

Back

Larger amplitude waves carry more energy.

Front

How does wavelength relate to frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related. As wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

Front

What is a wave's phase?

Back

The phase of a wave refers to its position relative to its resting point at a particular time.

Front

What is the relationship between amplitude and wave height?

Back

The height of the wave is proportional to the amplitude; higher amplitude means taller waves.

Front

What is the crest of a wave?

Back

The crest is the highest point of a wave.

Front

What is amplitude in wave physics?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a wave's displacement from its resting position.

Front

What is frequency in wave physics?

Back

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

Front

What is wavelength in wave physics?

Back

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

Front

What is a trough in wave physics?

Back

A trough is the lowest point of a wave.

Front

What is the relationship between amplitude and energy?

Back

Higher amplitude waves carry more energy.
