What makes a wave a wave?

The distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave

Wavelength

The distance from the top or bottom of the wave to the resting point.

Amplitude

Highest point of the wave

Crest

Lowest point of the wave

Trough

Labelling

Match

Frequency- how often there is a completed wave cycle (wavelength) in a set amount of time.

When finding frequency, choose a spot on the wave and count the wavelengths (not just the total crests).

Match the wave with it's frequency

Frequency= 2

Frequency = 6

Frequency= 4

• Frequency= 2

• Frequency = 6

• Frequency= 4

Draw

Draw 2 waves:

1 wave = HIGH frequency

1 wave = LOW freqency

(frequency- how many wavelengths in a set time)
