Which term describe the number of waves passing a point during a certain period of time?

• crest

• frequency

• range

• wavelength

The figure shows a wave. What is the wavelength of the wave?

• 1.5 m

• 3.0 m

• 5.0 m

• 6.5 m

A local surf report provides the height of the wave from the trough to the crest of the wave. How does this relate to the wave's amplitude?

• It is less the the wave's amplitude.

• It is equal to the wave's amplitude.

• It is twice the wave's amplitude.

• It is half the wave's amplitude.

What measurement is usually determined by measuring the crest of one wave to the crest of another wave?

• amplitude

• frequency

• range

• wavelength

The figure shows a wave. What is the amplitude of the wave?

• 2 m

• 4 m

• 6 m

• 8 m

It takes 3 seconds for a wave to pass to a certain point. Which property of the wave is measured?

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• wave speed

The figure shows a wave. What is the height of the crest of the wave?

• 1.5 m

• 3.0 m

• 5.0 m

What word describes the distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs?

• amplitude
• energy
• resting point
• wavelength
