Light and Sound Review

This is what frequency is measured in...

• hertz

• amplitude

• crest

A wave that vibrates the medium in the same direction in which the wave travels

• hertz

• amplitude

• compressional

• crest

The maximum height of a wave crest or depth of a trough. (Midpoint to the crest or trough)

• wavelength

• frequency

• hertz

• amplitude
