Waves Review

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 an electromagnetic wave is:

• the crest

• the trough

• the compression

• the rarefaction

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

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

The type of waves that require a medium to pass through:

• Mechanical Waves

• Electromagnetic Waves

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

• Amplitude
• Crest
• Frequency
• 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.
• More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.
