Front

What happens to the number of waves per second if a wave has a greater frequency?

Back

The number of waves per second increases.

Front

Front

Which wave has the largest wavelength?

Back

Wave B has the largest wavelength.

Front

What part of the wave is a rarefaction?

Back

B is the part of the wave that is a rarefaction.

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.
