Answer the questions below:

Part 1:

1. How is wavelength measured?

2. What is frequency?

3. How is the amplitude of a wave measured?

4. For a given wave, if the frequency is increased, what will happen to the wavelength?

5. At the beach, when a storm moves in, the wind blows harder and the waves grow bigger and more frequent. What does this tell us about the energy of the waves?

Part 2:

1. Identify the following on the wave diagram (Diagram 1) below:

• wavelegth
• crest
• trough
• amplitude

Diagram 1

2. Which wave in the diagram below (Diagram 2) has the highest frequency?

Diagram 2

3. Which wave in the diagram above (Diagram 2) has the largest amplitude?

4. Which wave in the diagram above (Diagram 2) has the longest wavelength?
