Bella Parton 4/ 26 / 22 WS 9.1 Wave Basics P2 One full wave (cycle) Wave train - two or more waves Amplitude - measures the energy of a transverse wave, measured from the equilibrium position to the top of a crest or the bottom of a trough (see vertical arrow) Wavelength - length of a single wave cycle (horizontal arrow double sided arrow) Frequency-# of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time Speed = wavelength x frequency The time from the beginning to the end of the wave train in each situation is 1 second. Use a ruler to measure any parts of the wave that you need to Wave 1 a) How many waves are there in this wave train? b) Wavelength cm c) Amplitude cm d) frequency Hz e) speed cm/s Wave 2 a) How many waves are there in this wave train? b) Wavelength cm c) Amplitude cm d) frequency Hz e.) speed cm/s Wave 3 a) How many waves are there in this wave train? b) Wavelength cm c) Amplitude cm d) frequency _Hz e.) speed cm/s
