Which term describes the number of waves passing a point during a certain period of time?

• crest

• frequency

• range

• wavelength

What is the wavelength of the wave?

• 1.5 m

• 3.0 m

• 5.0 m

• 6.5 m

A local surf report provides the height of the wave from the trough to the crest of the wave. How does this relate to the wave’s amplitude?

• It is less than the wave's amplitude

• It is equal to the wave's amplitude.

• It is about twice the wave's amplitude.

• It is about half of the wave's amplitude.

What measurement is usually determined by measuring the crest of one wave to the crest of another wave?

• amplitude

• frequency

• range

• wavelength

• 2 m

• 4 m

• 6 m

• 8 m
