Wave qualities
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1State the 7 qualities that define a waveWavelength, Frequency, Amplitude, Crest, Trough, Period and Speed.
- 2Define wavelengthDistance between 2 successive similar points on the wave. Ie. Crest to crest.
- 3Define FrequencyNumber of waves passing a fixed point each second. Measured in Hertz, Hz.
- 4Define AmplitudeDistance from the midpoint of the wave to its high point or its low point.
- 5Define CrestHigh point of wave.
- 6Define TroughLow point of wave (opposite of crest).
- 7Define PeriodTime taken for 1 wavelength to pass a given point.
- 8Define SpeedHow fast the wave moves in a set period of time.
