2.1.2 Wave Parameters

• The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement from its resting
• Frequency and period are inversely proportional to each other

  True
• The unit for period is seconds
• The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its period
• As frequency increases, period decreases


  True
• What is the formula for wave speed?

  $v =$$\lambda f$
• What is wavelength measured in?

  Meters (m)
• What is the relationship between wavelength and wave speed?

  Directly related
• Frequency is the number of wave cycles per second
• The period of a wave is measured in seconds.

  True
• Frequency is inversely proportional to the period
• What is the unit of measurement for wave speed?

  m/s
• Wave speed remains constant regardless of changes in wavelength and frequency.

  False
• The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests
• The period of a wave is the time taken for one complete wave cycle
• What is frequency measured in?

  Hertz (Hz)
• What is the relationship between frequency and period?

  Inversely proportional
• Period is the time for one complete wave cycle
• A wave with a wavelength of 2 meters and a frequency of 5 Hz has a wave speed of 10 m/s


  True
• The higher the amplitude of a wave, the stronger it is

  True
• Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz equals 1 cycle per second


  True

  Seconds (s)
• Match the wave parameter with its definition:

  Wavelength ↔️ Distance between consecutive crests or troughs

  Amplitude ↔️ Maximum displacement from resting position
• The formula for wavelength is $\lambda =$$v / f$
• Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the wave's resting position.
• Match the wave parameter with its relationship to frequency:

  Frequency ↔️ Inversely proportional to period

  Period ↔️ Inversely proportional to frequency
• Period is the time taken for one complete wave cycle
• Match the wave parameter with its definition:

  Period ↔️ Time for one complete wave cycle

  Frequency ↔️ Number of wave cycles per second

  Wavelength ↔️ Distance between crests or troughs

  Amplitude ↔️ Maximum displacement from rest
• Wave speed is directly proportional to both wavelength and frequency.


  True
• Match the wave parameter with its formula:

  Wave Speed ↔️ $v =$$\lambda f$

  Wavelength ↔️ $\lambda =$$v / f$

  Frequency ↔️ $f =$$v / \lambda$
