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 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.

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

• Amplitude

• Crest

• Frequency

• Wavelength
