The highest point on a transverse wave is the:

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

What kind of wave is this?

• transverse

• longitudinal

As a longitudinal wave moves forward, the particles:

• oscillate perpendicular to the wave's motion

• oscillate in parallel to the wave's motion

• stand in one place

• continually move forward

The frequency of a wave is measured in __________________.

• metres

• hertz

• seconds

• metres per second

What number represents the wavelength?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

When wavelength increases, what happens to the frequency of a wave if its speed stays the same?

• it increases

• it decreases

• it stays the same
