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

The number of wavelengths that pass a point each per second is:

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

What kind of wave is pictured below?

• compressional wave
• transverse wave
• sound wave
• mechanical wave

What do we call the part of a compressional wave that is spread a part?

• compression

• rarefaction

• crest

• trough

Amplitude reflects the amount of ____________________ in a wave.

• energy
• compression
• rarefaction
• speed

_____________________ is the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point of the next wave.

• Amplitude
• Wavelength
• Frequency
• Crest

what is refraction

• bending of wave as it changes from one medium to another

• occurs when two or more waves overlap in the same spot

• bending of waves as they pass on edge
