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

• electromagnetic wave

• longitudinal wavy

• transverse wave

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS4-3

As longitudinal wave energy moves forward, the particles move:

• perpendicular to the energy

• parallel to the energy

• stand in one place

• completely down the spring

Energy can travel in waves. When we describe waves, we often talk about the wave’s wavelength and frequency. Which of these statements accurately describes the relationship between the wavelength and frequency of a wave?

• If wavelength increases, frequency increases.

• If frequency decreases, wavelength increases.

• If frequency remains constant, wavelength increases.

• If wavelength remains constant, frequency increases.
