Frequency is

• how tall a wave is.

• how short a wave is.

• the number of waves passing through a point in a second.

• how loud a sound is.

The loudness of a sound is its

• pitch.

• decibel.

• frequency.

• volume.

The high point on a wave it its

• trough.

• amplitude.

• crest.

• volume.

The trough is

• the low point on a wave.

• the high point on a wave.

• the distance between the midline and crest.

• the distance between two crests.

The distance between two crests or troughs is

• wavelength.

• amplitude.

• volume.

• frequency.

Amplitude is

• the distance between two crests.

• the distance between two troughs.

• the number of waves passing through a point in a second.

• the distance from a wave's crest to midline or midline to trough.
