- Q1What type of graph is often used to represent a wave?time-velocity graphtemperature-time graphdistance-speed graphdisplacement-time graph30s
- Q2What is the period of a wave?the distance between two wave creststhe speed at which the wave moves forwardsthe maximum displacement of the wave from equilibriumthe time it takes for one complete oscillation30s
- Q3What is the distance between two wave crests on a displacement-time graph equal to?the wavelength of the wavethe frequency of the wavethe amplitude of the wavethe period of the wave30s
- Q4Which statement is true about a displacement-time graph of a wave?it represents the wavelength of the waveit is a picture of the waveit shows the frequency of the waveit shows the displacement at one point as the wave passes30s
- Q5Which equation represents the relationship between frequency and period?frequency = amplitude / periodfrequency = period x wavelengthfrequency = period / wavelengthfrequency = 1 / period30s
- Q6Put these waves in order of frequency, starting with the highest frequency.Users link answersLinking30s
