Waves Review

What is transferred from place to place by waves?

• matter

• energy

• particles

• light

What does the arrow in the picture represent?

• amplitude

• wavelength

• frequency

• trough

What does the arrow in the picture represent?

• wavelength

• echolocation

• amplitude

• crest

If the frequency increases, the energy of the wave:

• increases

• decreases

• stays the same

• puts it down, flips it, and reverses it

The highest point of a wave is called what?

• trough

• wavelength

• crest

• amplitude

Waves that require a medium to travel are:

• mechanical waves

• transverse waves

• electromagnetic waves

• light waves

What happens when you increase the amplitude of a sound?

• it makes the sound louder

• it makes the sound travel faster

• it makes the sound softer

• it changes the pitch or note of the sound
