Waves

What is measured from crest to crest or trough to trough?

• mediums

• resting position

• wavelength

• origin

What is the amplitude of this wave?

• 2

• 3

• 6

• 10

Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...

• they are always the same

• when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)

• there is no correlation

• they both vary in an irregular pattern

Velocity= ________
Wavelength= .5m
Frequency= 150 hertz

• .75 m/s
• 75 m/s
• 300 m/s

A wave has frequency of 5 Hz and a speed of 25 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave?

• 5 m

• 5 Hz

• 125 m

• 125 Hz

How high or low a sound is; depends on the frequency (greater frequency= higher pitch)

• pitch
• frequency
• sound
• medium

A wave in which the vibration is in the same direction as that in which the wave is traveling; sound waves

• longitudinal wave
• ocean wave
• transverse wave
• mechanical wave

High Amplitude =__________________

• Louder sounds
• Quieter Sounds

Low frequency = _______ Pitch

• Low
• High

Which sound wave shows the sound with the highest pitch?

• 
• 
•
