A student draws a water wave that repeats the same high and low humps across the page. Which distance should the student measure to find one wavelength?

Two waves cross a tank of water. One rises much higher above the calm water line than the other. What does the amplitude of a wave measure?
A student draws a water wave. The very highest point at the top of each hump of the wave is called the ___.
A cork bobs on a rippling pond. Right now it has dropped to the lowest dip of the wave passing under it. What is that lowest point of a wave called?

A wave model shows the water rising 3 centimeters above the rest line at its tallest point. A second wave model shows the water rising only 1 centimeter above the rest line. Which wave has the greater amplitude?
Two waves reach a toy sailboat one after the other. The second wave has a much larger amplitude than the first. Compared with the first wave, what will the second wave do to the boat?

In a wave tank, the crests of wave A and wave B are exactly the same distance apart, but wave A is much taller than wave B. How do the two waves compare?
A student shakes a long rope and makes two waves. In wave A the crests are bunched close together. In wave B the crests are spread far apart. What can the student say about the wavelengths?
A student pulls a stretched rubber band to one side, lets go, and hears a sound. What is the rubber band doing while the sound is being made?

A wave is made of a pattern of crests and troughs that repeats over and over.
A drummer hits a drum harder than before, and the drum skin vibrates with a larger amplitude. How does the sound change?

The picture shows tall ocean waves. Compared with small waves, what can tall waves like these do when they crash on a shore?

A wave model is redrawn so that its crests are twice as far apart, but the crest heights stay the same. What happens to the wave's wavelength?
A wave model is redrawn so that the amplitude gets larger, but the wavelength stays the same. What happens to the height of the crests above the rest line?
True or False: In a wave model, wavelength is measured in units of distance, such as centimeters or meters.
A wave model shows crests that rise 4 centimeters above the rest line. How far below the rest line do its troughs dip?
Most ocean waves, like the one in the picture, begin far out at sea. What usually makes them?

True or False: One wavelength can also be measured from one trough to the very next trough.
A student draws a line through the middle of a wave pattern. What does this line usually represent?
A wave model on a grid shows a crest, then a trough 5 centimeters later, then the next crest 5 centimeters after that. What is the wavelength of this wave?
