If the wavelength of a wave increased, what would happen to the frequency?

• decrease

• increase

• stay the same

The number of waves that pass somewhere in a second is:

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• intensity

As a longitudinal wave moves forward, the particles move:

• perpendicular to the wave's motion

• parallel to the wave's motion

• stand in one place

• move completely down the spring
