The document is a worksheet about wave properties including amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed. It contains diagrams of wave trains and problems to calculate wavelength from frequency and speed, frequency from wavelength and speed, and period from wavelength and speed for different wave scenarios including sound waves, microwaves, and an unknown wave train of specified length. Key wave properties and their relationships are defined. Students are asked to calculate values for different waves depicted.

Wave Worksheet Name: __________________________
Date: _____________ One full wave (cycle) Wave train – two or more waves
Amplitude – measures the energy of a transverse wave
a) measured from the equilibrium position to the top of a crest or the bottom of a trough (see vertical arrow) Wavelength – length of a single wave cycle (horizontal arrow double sided arrow) Frequency-# of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time Speed = wavelength x frequency
The time from the beginning to the end of the wave train in each situation is 1 second.
