Question

match the description to the property.
amplitude
speed
period
wavelength
frequency
number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in a second
distance between a crest and a crest or a trough and a trough
the amount of time it takes for a wavelength to pass a certain point
distance between the midpoint to a crest or the midpoint to a trough
the distance traveled per unit of time

Explanation:

• Amplitude: It is the distance from the mid - point (equilibrium position) to a crest or a trough.
• Speed: By definition, it is the distance traveled per unit time.
• Period: The time taken for one complete wavelength (one full cycle) to pass a certain point.
• Wavelength: Measured as the distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs.
• Frequency: Represents the number of wavelengths (cycles) that pass a fixed point in one second.

Answer:

amplitude - distance between the midpoint to a crest or the midpoint to a trough
speed - the distance traveled per unit of time
period - the amount of time it takes for a wavelength to pass a certain point
wavelength - distance between a crest and a crest or a trough and a trough
frequency - number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in a second
