Energy Waves Lesson 1

the number of vibrations a wave has in a given time

• waves

• amplitude

• wavelength

• frequency

the distance that any point on the wave is moved from its resting position

• waves

• amplitude

• wavelength

• frequency

a disturbance that travels through matter or space, carrying energy from one place to another without carrying the matter along with it

• waves

• amplitude

• wavelength

• frequency

measurement of the distance between the crest and the trough in a series of waves

• waves

• amplitude

• wavelength

• frequency

wave in which particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave

• transverse wave

• longitudinal wave

wave in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction of the wave

• transverse wave

• longitudinal wave

Light waves can travel through matter

• True
• False

sound waves can travel through matter

• True
• False

there is only one type of wave : ocean wave

• True
• False

all waves have the same measurement of wavelength

• True
• False
