Pd. __________
Use the illustrations of transverse waves drawn below to answer the following questions.
X
Y
Z
1. Wave X and Y have the same ___________________, but wave Y has twice the ____________________ of Wave X.
2. Wave Z has half the _________________________ of X and Y.
3. Wave Z has 5 times the ____________________ than Y.
4. Finally, Wave ____ has the most energy and Wave _____ has the least amount of energy.
5. I know this because Wave ____ has much more _________________ than Wave X and Y.
Use the Electromagnetic Spectrum below to help draw waves that would accurately demonstrate the amount of
energy for each color listed below.

Use the following chart below to answer the questions regarding four different types of waves.
1. Which of the following waves has the quickest frequency? ____________________
2. Which of the following waves has the shortest frequency? ____________________
3. Which wave has the longest wavelength? _________________
4. Which wave has the shortest wavelength? _________________
5. List the waves in order from highest energy to lowest energy? _________________________________
6. Name the wave characteristic in the scenario above that determines which wave has the highest energy?
_________________________
7. Finish the analogy: The higher the ____________, the higher the energy of a wave.
Use the following
1. Circle the wave with
the highest amount of
energy.
2. Box in the wave with
the lowest amount of
energy.
3. Explain how you
determined which
wave had the
most/least amount of
energy.
