Period and Frequency of Waves

This video tutorial covers the fundamental features of waves, focusing on the period and frequency. It explains the characteristics of transverse and longitudinal waves, including peaks, troughs, amplitude, and wavelength. The tutorial details how to measure wave frequency in Hertz and discusses the time period of waves, highlighting the relationship between time period and frequency. The video also touches on how frequency affects sound pitch and light color.

What is the direction of oscillation in a transverse wave relative to its propagation?

• Parallel

• Perpendicular

• Diagonal

• Circular

Which point on a wave represents the maximum displacement from its rest position?

• Wavelength

• Trough

• Peak

• Amplitude

How is the frequency of a wave defined?

• The time it takes for one wave to pass a point

• The number of waves passing a point each second

• The distance between two peaks

• The height of a wave

What does the frequency of a sound wave determine?

• The direction of the sound

• The speed of sound

• The volume of the sound

• The pitch of the sound

What is the relationship between the time period (T) and frequency (F) of a wave?

• T = F

• T = F/2

• T = 1/F

• T = F^2
