• rest position

• trough

The lowest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

If the wavelength of a wave increased, what would happen to the frequency?

• decrease

• increase

• stay the same

Mechanical waves usually travel fastest through:

• solids

• liquids

• gases

The number of waves that pass somewhere in a second is:

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

A wave that can travel through matter and empty space is a:

• electromagnetic wave

• longitudinal wavy

• transverse wave

As a longitudinal wave moves forward, the particles move:

• perpendicular to the wave's motion

• parallel to the wave's motion

• stand in one place

• move completely down the spring

Everything is made up of little tiny things called _____

• compounds
• molecules
• atoms
• solids

From the diagram, which particles are indicated with the arrow?
