Wave Properties Worksheet
1. Which wave above is a transverse wave? A longitudinal wave?
2. On the transverse wave, label a crest and a trough. On the longitudinal wave, label a compression and a rarefaction.
3. What is a wavelength? What is one wavelength equal to in a transverse wave? A longitudinal wave?
4. How many cycles/vibrations are there in 1 wavelength?
5. Measure the length of 1 wavelength of the transverse wave and of 1 longitudinal wave. Write them below.
6. What is the amplitude of a wave? Measure the amplitude of the transverse wave, and write it below
7. What is the frequency of a wave?
8. If the above wave completes about 6 cycles in 2 seconds, what is this wave’s frequency?
9. What is the period of a wave?
10. If the above wave completes about 6 cycles in 2 seconds, what is this wave’s period?
11. What is the relationship between the period of a wave and it’s frequency?
