In the diagram below, identify the parts of a wave by using the provided definitions.
# = crest The highest point of the wave above the line of origin.
# = trough The lowest point of the wave below the line of origin.
# = line of origin Signifies the original position of the medium.
# = wavelength The distance between two consecutive crests.
# = amplitude The distance from the line of origin to a crest or trough of a wave.
Part 2 On separate sheets of graph paper, draw four different waves with the following measurements.
Label the parts and include the measurements.
wave # crest trough wavelength
11 cm 1 cm 2 cm 2 3.5 cm 3.5 cm 2.5 cm 3 .5 cm .5 cm 3 cm 4 2 cm 2cm .5 cm
Concluding question: State which wave you think has the highest frequency and which might have the lowest frequency. Explain the reasons for your selections.
