How fast a wave travels is known as
Wave speed or velocity.
Give an example of a longitudinal wave
sound or eartquakes
A wave has frequency of 5 Hz and a speed of 25 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave?
5 m
This is the top of the wave.
Crest
The distance between two crests or two troughs.
Wavelength
What is not transferred by a wave
Matter
In this type of wave the vibration and the energy moves in the same direction.
Longitudinal Wave
A wave has wavelength of 10 m and a speed of 340 m/s. What is the frequency of the wave?
34 Hz
What property of a wave changes when a wave refracts
Speed
What is the unit of wavelength

Does a wave move towards or away from the normal when it enters from air to glass
Towards
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second
Frequency
Which type of wave moves particles in right angles in the direction of the waves?
Transverse
If the wavelength is 20m and the frequency is 5Hz, what is the velocity?
