SHM & Waves Practice

What property of the wave is represented by the letter "B"?

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

The highest point on a wave is:

• the crest
• the trough
• the top
• the coast 

The lowest point on a wave is the:

• Amplitude
• Crest
• Trough
• Wavelength

The type of waves that require medium to pass:

• Mechanical Waves
• Electromagnetic Waves

The number of wavelengths that pass a point each per second is:

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave

An object is attached to a vertical spring and bobs up and down between points A and B.  Where is the object located when its elastic potential energy is a maximum?

• at either A or B
• midway between A and B
• one-third of the way between A and B
• one-fourth of the way between A and B

An object is attached to a vertical spring and bobs up and down between points A and B.  Where is the object located when its elastic potential energy is a minimum?

• at either A or B
• midway between A and B
• one-third of the way between A and B
• one-fourth of the way between A and B
