the lowest point of a wave is the

• amplitude

• trough

• crest

• frequency

The distance between two troughs or crests is

• frequency

• amplitude

• hertz

• wavelength

Amplitude is the maximum distance the wave moves away from its rest position

• true

• false

the number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time is

• wavelength

• frequency

• amplitude

• crest

frequency is measured in units called

• speed

• amps

• hertz

• bites

mechanical waves require a medium to pass through while electromagnetic waves do not.

• true

• false

waves that move the medium in a direction perpendicular or at right angles to the the direction the waves are traveling are called

• surface waves

• seismic waves

• transverse waves

• longitudinal waves

Waves that move particles of the medium parallel to the direction that the waves arte traveling.

• Transverse waves

• seismic waves

• surface waves

• Longitudinal waves

waves that are a combination of transverse waves and longitudinal waves are called surface waves.

• true

• false
