Wavefronts

Answer 6

The peaks can be drawn as shapes ,shut as circles and spheres

Question 7

The speed at which a wave travels

Answer 7

Wave speed

Answer 8

Measure of how far particles in the medium move away from their normal rest position.

Question 9

Time period required for one cycle.

Answer 9

Wave length

Question 10

Frequency

Answer 10

Tells you how many cycles occur in an amount of time, most commonly 1 s

Question 11

Frequency is measured in hertz. So it’s like a measuring tool.

Answer 11

Hertz
