Waves and Sound Review Part 1

What property of this wave is represented by the letter "A"

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength

What property of the wave is represented by the letter "B"?

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

The highest point on a wave is:

• the crest
• the trough
• the top
• the coast 

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.

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest frequency?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

regular disturbances that carry energy through matter or space

• crest
• energy
• wave
• trough

Which material does sound travel through the fastest?

• solid

• liquid

• gases

What waves have movement that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave?

• Transverse wave
• longitudinal wave
• both
• none

Which type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?

• transverse wave
• longitudinal wave
• both
• none

Material (matter) through which a wave travels

• medium
• Doppler Effect
• sound
• pitch
