Counting Waves

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time is wave _______________________.

• Distance

• Frequency

• Speed

• Amplitude

You can figure out wave frequency by counting the number of crests of waves that...

• Pass a moving point in one second

• Pass a fixed point in 10 seconds

• Pass a point

• Pass a fixed point in one second

1 Hertz equals ________________________

passing per second.

• one wave

• two waves

• three waves

• four waves

The formula for figuring out wave speed

is…

• speed = distance/time

• speed = wavelength x frequency

• frequency = speed / wavelength

• wavelength = speed / frequency
