Wave and their Properties

Multiple Choice

What does a wave carry from place to place?

• energy

• matter

• people

Multiple Choice

The distance from crest to crest on a wave is...

• frequency

• amplitude

• wavelength

• trough

• wave height

Multiple Choice

Which wave has more energy? Why?

• Top wave because the amplitude is smaller

• Bottom wave because the amplitude is larger

• They are the same because the wavelengths are equal
