3

4 Describe longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves show repeating areas of compression and
rarefaction.
5
Explain what is meant by the amplitude of
a wave.
The maximum displacement of a point on a wave away from its
undisturbed position.
6
Explain what is meant by the wavelength
of a wave.
The distance from a point on one wave to the equivalent point on the
adjacent wave
7
Explain what is meant by the frequency of
a wave.
The number of waves passing a point each second.
8 Explain what is meant by the wave speed. The speed at which the energy is transferred (or the wave moves)
through the medium.
9
Describe three things that can happen
when a wave reaches a boundary between
two different materials.
They can be reflected, absorbed or transmitted.
10
Describe what happens when sound waves
travel through a solid. They cause vibrations in the solid.
