Mr. Biando's Lab - Properties of waves
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| Amplitude, Length, and frequency. | Properties of Waves |
| The maximum distance that the particles of a wave's medium vibrate from their at rest position. | Amplitude |
| Any increase in a wave's amplitude proportionately increases a waves -----. | Energy |
| The distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave. | Wavelength |
| A wave with a shorter wavelength carries ---- energy. | more |
| The number of waves produced in a given amount of time. | Frequency |
| The speed at which a wave travels through a medium. | Wave Speed |
| Waves at higher frequencies carry ---- energy than waves with lower frequencies. | more |
| Wavelength multiplied by wave frequency. | Wave Speed |
| Wave speed divided by wave frequency. | Wavelength |
| Wave speed divided by wavelength. | Wave Frequency |
| Wave frequency and wavelength are --------- related. | Inversely |
| The greek letter lambda represents this waves property. | Wavelength |
| One wave per second. | One Hertz |
