A ___________________________ is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another.
Waves can transfer energy through which types of mediums? Write your answer in a complete sentence.
________________________________ is the number of waves passing a fixed point in a certain amount of time.
_______________________ is the distance from one crest or trough to the next.
____________________________ is the distance a medium moves above or below its position at rest.
The speed of any wave can be determined when both the frequency and the wavelength are known, using the following formular: Speed = wavelength X frequency. Using this information answer the following question: An ocean wave has a wavelength of 16 meters and a frequency of 0.31 wave per second. What is the speed of the wave? Show your work below.
