This is the number of complete movements of a wave per second.

Question

In a transverse wave, this is the magnitude of height of a wave from origin to crest. In a longitudinal wave, this is corresponds to how much the wave is compressed, as compared to areas of little compression.
This is the distance from the peak to a peak of a successive wave.
A rhythmic disturbance that carries energy through matter or space.
The complete range of light waves organized by wavelength/frequency.

Answer 1

Based on the descriptions you've provided, here’s how each term corresponds to the definitions given:

1. Frequency: This is the number of complete movements (or cycles) of a wave per second.

2. Amplitude: In a transverse wave, this refers to the height of the wave from the origin to the crest. In a longitudinal wave, it refers to how much the wave is compressed compared to areas of little compression.

3. Wavelength: This is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next successive wave.

4. Wave: A rhythmic disturbance that carries energy through matter or space.

5. Electromagnetic Spectrum: This refers to the complete range of light waves organized by wavelength/frequency.
