This picture is a wave which somebody is surfing! Waves are an important unit in physics. It is important to know the definition of the vocabulary behind this unit. Students can complete equations and solve problems; however, if they are asked to define words or asked the question in a written format many students might have difficulty.
Important vocabulary words for this unit are as follows:
A potential question in this unit could be proposed like this:
Using the information given with the wave's anatomy (must figure out the wave's trough, crest, amplitude and if it is a transverse wave or a longtiudinal wave) find the wave's wavelength and how it oscillates through the surface. For full credit draw the wave pattern fully labeled.
