Wavelength

What are waves ?

• energy that surrounds us

• matter

• disturbances that carries energy through matter or space

• The water that you surf on

What is the lowest part of a wave?

• The bottom

• the trough

• lambda

• the frequency

What is the highest part of a wave called?

• wavelength

• distance

• the top

• crest

What is the greek symbol called for wavelength

• lambda

• llama

• Beta

• Alpha

The shorter the wavelength the _____ the frequency

The longer the wavelength the ____ the frequency

Choose ALL ways to meausre a wave

• From crest to crest

• With a Bohr Model

• From trough to trough

• There are no ways to measure a wave

What is a Destructive interference

• A change in how hard it is for a wave to cause disturbance

• occurs when the crest of the wave overlap the troughs of the other waves

• when waves go out of control

• When waves become visible to the human eye

What is constructive interference?

• the interaction of waves with other waves

• when waves pass through each other

• when the crest of the wave overlap with the crest of the other wave

• wave interference
