ScienceWavesGCSEEdexcel Created by: Millie KingCreated on: 30-10-12 13:00 Transverse waves move... at right angles to the direction that the wave is moving. 1 of 11 Longitudinal waves move... backwards and forwards with the direction the wave is travelling. 2 of 11 All electromagnetic waves are... Transverse waves. 3 of 11 Wave frequency is measured in... Hertz 4 of 11 What's the shortened form of Hertz? Hz 5 of 11 `The amplitude is measured from... The oscillation of the wave to the trough or the crest. 6 of 11 Wavelength can only be measured from the crest. True or false? False. Wavelength can be measured from the trough as well. 7 of 11 All types of sound wave are longitudinal. True or false? True. All types of sound wave are longitudinal. 8 of 11 If you need to calculate distance the calculation is... Wave speed times time. 9 of 11 The symbol for wavelength is a greek letter called... Lambda. 10 of 11 The calculation for wavelength is... Frequency divided by wave speed. 11 of 11
