8th Grade Waves and Light Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · 1 sub-topic · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

A wave is a repeating disturbance that carries energy from place to place without carrying matter along with it. There are 7 worksheets for 8th grade, each with an answer key, on wave energy and amplitude, light spectra, lenses, digital signals and how light spreads with distance. Earthquake Magnitude, Amplitude and Energy, Ray Diagrams for Convex and Concave Lenses and Binary Codes and Digital Signal Storage are three of the sheets. Native sheets here practice MS-PS4-1, MS-PS4-2 and MS-PS4-3.

Frequently Asked Questions

A wave with a larger amplitude carries more energy, and the energy grows with the amplitude squared. In the sample data on Graph Wave Energy Against Amplitude, doubling the amplitude from 2 cm to 4 cm multiplies the energy by 4. Students graph the same data against amplitude and amplitude squared to see the rule.
