Waves

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

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

What property of the wave is represented by the letter "B"?

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

The highest point on a wave is:

• the crest
• the trough
• the top
• the coast 

The lowest point on a wave is the:

• Amplitude
• Crest
• Trough
• Wavelength

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

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

Which is the correct equation for calculating the speed of a wave?

• T = 1/f
• Speed= Wavelength x Period
• Speed = Wavelength/Frequency
• Speed= Wavelength x Frequency

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest frequency?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest wavelength?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

What type of waves have compressions and rarefactions?

• longitudinal
• transverse

Which part of a longitudinal wave is where particles are packed closely together?

• compression
• rarefaction
• crest 
• amplitude
