Waves Review

The most dense part of a longitudinal wave.

• Density
• Compression
• Rarefaction
• Amplitude

As the wavelength of a wave in a uniform medium increases, its frequency will 

• Increase
• Decrease
• Remain the same
• Can't tell

A wave with a frequency of 14 Hz has a wavelength of 3 meters. At what speed will this wave travel? (Don't forget correct units)

• 24 m/s
• 42 m/s
• 4.2 m/s
• faster than a speeding bullet

Waves that combine to make a wave of larger amplitude is called

• Constructive Interference
• Destructive Interference
• Defensive Interference
• Pass Interference

What property of this wave is represented by the letter "A"

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength
