Waves

Which statement is FALSE

• Longitudinal waves are waves that travel parallel to the direction of the vibration

• Shorter wavelengths will have lower frequency and less energy

• The higher the frequency, the closer the waves are together and the greater the energy carried by the wave will be.

• Speed is a measure of the distance a wave travels in an amount of time.
