    • What is amplitude In a wave?
      The height of the wave
    • What is amplitude?

      The hight of the wave
    • What is a wave frequency?
      Number of waves per second.
    • What is wavelength?
      the length of the wave from/in between its points/ peaks
    • Wave speed=?
      frequency x Wavelength
    • Frequency= Wave speed/ wavelength x 1000
    • How can we see colour?
      light bounces off the object into our eye. Colours of the object will be absorbed, except for the one that is showing
    • The pitch of a note increases if the frequency of the soundwave increases
    • The loudness of the note increases if the amplitude of a soundwave increases
    • You can produce the colours of visible light by passing white light through a glass prism
    • What type of wave is light?
      transverse
    • Two types of wave longitudinal and transverse
    • When light goes from a less to more dense material, it bends towards the normal
