Wave Properties
About the Lecture
The lecture Wave Properties by Jared Rovny, PhD is from the course Periodic Motion.
Included Quiz Questions
What is a wave amplitude?
- The maximum displacement of a wave from its center
- The overall height of a wave from peak to trough
- The total length of a wave
- The amount of energy stored in a wave
- The speed by which a wave propagates
What is the wavelength of a wave?
- The minimum distance which the wave repeats itself
- The distance from a wave’s peak to its center
- The distance from a wave’s peak to its next trough
- The distance between two adjacent center points of a wave
- The distance from a wave’s beginning to its end
What is a wave’s frequency?
- It is the number of oscillations a particle on the wave makes per second
- It is the time which the oscillations of a particle on the wave repeats itself
- The speed of the wave multiplied by its wavelength
- It is equal to inverse period squared
- It is equal to one over the wavelength of the wave
Which of the following is true about a wave period?
- It is the minimum time which the oscillations of a particle on the wave repeats itself
- It is the time between adjacent zeros of a wave on the position-time graph of a particle on the wave
- It is independent of the wave’s frequency
- It is twice the wave velocity
- It is equal to the wave speed divided by the wavelength
