- Q1What type of graph is often used to represent a wave?distance-speed graphdisplacement-time graphtemperature-time graphtime-velocity graph30s
- Q2What is the period of a wave?the speed at which the wave moves forwardsthe time it takes for one complete oscillationthe distance between two wave creststhe maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium30s
- Q3What is the distance between two wave crests on a displacement-time graph equal to?the wavelength of the wavethe amplitude of the wavethe period of the wavethe frequency of the wave30s
- Q4Which statement is true about a displacement-time graph of a wave?it shows the displacement at one point as the wave passesit is a picture of the waveit represents the wavelength of the waveit shows the frequency of the wave30s
- Q5Which equation represents the relationship between frequency and period?frequency = period x wavelengthfrequency = 1 / periodfrequency = period / wavelengthfrequency = amplitude / period30s
- Q6Put these waves in order of frequency, starting with the highest frequency.Users link answersLinking30s
