- 1What is the amplitude?The distance from the peak or trough to the equilibrium.
- 2What is wavelength?The distance from trough to trough or peak to peak. This is represented as lamda.
- 3The amount of waves that pass a certain point per second. What was the question?What is frequency?
- 4The time taken for one whole wave to pass a certain point. What was the question?What is Time Period?
- 5Describe a transverse waveA wave where the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the energy.
- 6Describe a longitudinal waveA wave where the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of the energy.
- 7What is the equation for wave speed?V/C=f x lamda
- 8What is the equation for frequencyf = 1 over T
- 9Name the EM spectrum from biggest wavelength to smallestRadio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, UV, X-Rays, gamma waves.
