Transverse Waves DMS

Front

What is the definition of Wavelength?

Back

The measurement of the length of a wave from one point of the wave to the next identical part of the wave (e.g., crest to crest or trough to trough).

Front

What part of a transverse wave is referred to as the Crest?

Back

The highest point of the wave.

Front

What is Amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

The distance from the resting point to the crest or trough of the wave.

Front

What is the primary function of waves?

Back

Transferring Energy.

Front

What is the definition of Frequency?

Back

The number of waves that pass a given point in a specific amount of time.

Front

How is Wavelength measured?

Back

From one crest to the next crest or from one trough to the next trough.

Front

What does the term Crest refer to in a transverse wave?

Back

The peak or highest point of the wave.

Front

What does the term Trough refer to in a transverse wave?

Back

The lowest point of the wave.

Front

What is the relationship between Wavelength and Frequency?

Back

Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is the Resting Point in a wave?

Back

The baseline level where the wave would be if there were no disturbances.
