Waves

regular disturbances that carry energy through matter or space

• crest
• energy
• wave
• trough

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

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength

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

Which of the following can sound travel through?

• solid
• liquid
• gas
• all of the above

The number of wavelengths that pass a point each per second is:

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

All waves carry

• energy
• light 
• matter
• particles

What kind of wave is pictured below?

• compressional wave
• transverse wave
• sound wave
• mechanical wave

It is the high pressure part of the wave where the particles are close together. It is part A on this picture.

• Compression

• Amplituide

• Rarefaction

• Wavelength

The distance from one point to the next corresponding point on a wave is called the ________________.

• waveform
• peak
• amplitude
• wavelength
