Waves, Part 1

Which vocabulary term is used to identify the distance between points C & G?

• Amplitude
• Crest
• Frequency
• 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 

When the frequency of a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?

• The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.
• The wavelength increases.
• The wavelength decreases.
• More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.
