Definition: Crest

• The highest point of a transverse wave

• The lowest point of a transverse wave

• The center of a transverse wave

• The distance between two points on a wave

Definition: Trough

• The center of a wave

• The resting position of a wave

• The lowest point of a transverse wave

• The highest point of a transverse wave

Definition: Wave

• Matter through which a wave travels

• A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another

How do you measure wavelength?

• transverse and longitudinal

• The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave

• Crest to Trough

Sound is an example of a transverse wave

• True

• False

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

• The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.
• The wavelength increases.
• The wavelength decreases.
• More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.
