What makes a wave a wave?
3
The distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
Wavelength
The distance from the top or bottom of the wave to the resting point.
Amplitude
Highest point of the wave
Crest
Lowest point of the wave
Trough
4
Labeling
Label the different parts of a wave:
Wavelength
Amplitude
Crest
Trough
5
Match
Frequency- how often there is a completed wave cycle (wavelength) in a set amount of time.
When finding frequency, choose a spot on the wave and count the wavelengths (not just the total crests).
Match the wave with it's frequency
Frequency= 2
Frequency = 6
Frequency= 4
Frequency= 2
Frequency = 6
Frequency= 4

Draw
Draw 2 waves:
1 wave = HIGH frequency
1 wave = LOW freqency
(frequency- how many wavelengths in a set time)

Hotspot
Which wave has the highest energy?
