Language Practice Waves and Circuits

The distance from the crest of one wave to the next.

The maximum displacement of a wave

Current is different in different branches

• Series

• Parallel

Voltage is the same in all the branches

• Series

• Parallel

Resistance decreases as more branches are added

• Series

• Parallel

The maximum dispalcement of a wave. Measured in cm or m

• tranverse wave

• displacement

• wavelength

• Frequency

The distance from the first crest to the next. Measured in cm or m

• tranverse wave

• displacement

• wavelength

• Frequency

The number of complete waves to pass a point every second. Measures in hertz

• tranverse wave

• displacement

• wavelength

• Frequency

The displacement is perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel

• tranverse wave

• displacement

• wavelength

• Frequency

The displacement is the same direction as wave travel
