TransverseandLongitudinalWaves

Draw a graph to represent a transverse wave, label: • peak • through • Amplitude • Wavelength

Now match up the word to its definition:

1. Trough

2. Crest

3. Amplitude

4. Wavelength

5. Frequency

1. Label on the diagram where compression and rarefaction occur.

2. Label on the diagram a wavelength.

3. What is the direction of vibration compared to the direction of the wave?

For the above diagram, label on the diagram where compression and rarefaction occur.

A. Number of waves produced in each second

B. The peak of a wave

C. Distance from one crest to the next

D. The lowest point of a wave

E. The height of a wave from the

middle to the crest.
