Properties of Waves Review

How would you describe the movement of a transverse wave?

• Up and down

• Back and forth

• In zigzags

• Linear

What is amplitude?

• The distance between two corresponding crests

• The height of a wave, determines the power of a wave

• The number of waves that pass each second, measured in Hertz (Hz)

• A wave that does not require a medium to travel

• The number of waves that pass each second, measured in Hertz (Hz)

What is a wave?

• The distance between two corresponding crests

• The bottom of a wave
