Properties of Waves Worksheet

Topics in this properties of waves worksheet include:

• Waves
• Basic differences between longitudinal and transverse waves
• Parts of a wave (crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength)
• Analyzing waves for amplitude, frequency, and wavelength
• Students to create their own waves from given amplitude, wavelength, and frequency data

(Please note: The questions represent an OVERVIEW of waves as intended by MS-PS4-1 and MS-PS4-2, so they do not include questions about wave interference and only the basic differences between longitudinal and transverse waves.)

• NGSS MS-PS4-1: Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
• NGSS MS-PS4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
