Light waves can move through both ___________________ and empty space.

• matter

• transverse

• wavelength

Light is an ____________________ wave.

• transverse

• matter

• amplitude

________________________ is the height of a wave.

• transverse

• amplitude

• wavelength

The __________________________ of a transverse wave is the distance between two crests or between.

• wavelength

• amplitude

• transverse

The first thing that God created was light.

• True

• False

Light waves travel slower than sound waves do.

• True

• False

Waves that move perpendicular to the way that the matter is moving are called transverse waves.

• True

• False

All waves have the same basic properties.

• True

• False

What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a wave?

• Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a point in a sec. Speed is the distance one wave travels in a second.

• Speed is the number of waves that pass through a point in a second. Frequency is the distance one wave travels in a second.
