10.1 Waves Theory

What does a wave carry from place to place?

• energy

• matter

• people

A wave that can travel through matter and empty space is a:

• electromagnetic wave

• longitudinal wavy

• transverse wave

NGSS.HS-PS4-3

Waves that require a material to travel though are called

• electromagnetic waves

• mechanical waves

• ocean waves

• transverse waves

• I do not know and do not wish to answer.

True or false: Mechanical waves can be transverse or longitudinal?

• True

• False

What kind of wave is this?

• electromagnetic

• longitudinal

• transverse

The highest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

The lowest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

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

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength
