How would you describe the wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency?

The wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency would be short.


What property cannot describe a single wave pulse?

The property of frequency cannot describe a single wave pulse, as frequency refers to the number of wave cycles passing a given point per unit of time. Since a single wave pulse consists of just one wave cycle, it does not have a frequency in the same way a continuous wave would.

How would you describe the amplitude of a wave using the words crest and through?

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle in the medium from the equilibrium position to either the crest or trough of the wave. It is a measure of the wave's strength or intensity.

What are properties of waves?

There are different kinds of wave, such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, water waves etc. So the first property I would describe as the wave medium. Then you would have the additional properties of amplitude and frequency.


How do you describe a wave?

Who presented the keystone to wave mechanics?

For general waves...probably d'Alembert, who solved the one-dimensional wave equation. In quantum it would have to be Schrodinger.


What Describe a wave?

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy


What are two words in vocabulary that describe the bending of a wave?

Refraction and diffraction are two words that describe the bending of a wave. Refraction occurs when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, while diffraction is the bending of a wave around obstacles or through openings.


How would you describe the motion of a buoy when a water wave passes?

When a water wave passes, a buoy will move up and down in a circular motion. The buoy follows the wave pattern, rising as the wave crest passes and sinking as the wave trough passes. This motion is a combination of vertical and horizontal movement as the wave energy is transferred to the buoy.
