Wave Properties

What is frequency?

• amount of time it takes a wave to travel.

• how large the amplitude of a wave is.

• number of wavelengths that occur in a period of time.

Amplitude tells us what about a sound?

• the intensity or volume

• the number of times it occurs

• number of wavelengths

What do sound waves need in order to travel?

• vibrations
• medium
• solids
• someone to make them

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

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength

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

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.
