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 number of wavelengths (or cycles) that pass a point per second (each second) is:

• frequency

• period

• longitudinal

• transverse wave

Which is the correct equation for calculating the speed of a wave?

• T = 1/f
• Speed= Wavelength x Period
• Speed = Wavelength/Frequency
• Speed= Wavelength x Frequency

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.

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4
