When the frequency of a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?

The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.

More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.

Which is true of a mechanical wave?

Both sound and light are examples.

What is the amplitude of a wave?

the amount of time that occurs in one full cycle

the distance traveled by the wave during one full cycle

the amount of cycles that occur in a given time

What is the wavelength of a wave?

the distance between two crests of a wave

the amount of time that occurs in one full cycle

the amount of cycles that occur in a given time

Unlike a transverse wave, the disturbance in a longitudinal wave is

perpendicular to the wave motion.

in the opposite direction of the wave motion

Unlike a longitudinal wave, the disturbance in a transverse wave is

perpendicular to the wave motion.

in the opposite direction of the wave motion.

When on a flat surface, giving the Slinky ® a push or pulse will create a disturbance

in the opposite direction of the wave motion.

perpendicular to the wave motion.

How do electromagnetic and mechanical waves compare?

Mechanical waves can only travel through a solid, liquid, or gas, but electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.

Mechanical waves can only travel through a vacuum, but electromagnetic waves can travel through a solid, liquid, or gas.

Mechanical waves can travel through a solid, liquid, or gas, but electromagnetic waves can only travel through a gas.

Mechanical waves can travel through a solid, liquid, or gas, but electromagnetic waves can only travel through a solid.
