Waves

1. The number of waves that pass by in a second is known as the wave's

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Amplitude

• Crest

The power of a wave comes from the wave's

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Speed

• Amplitude

The distance between two identical points on a adjacent waves is the wave's

• Frequency

• Amplitude

• Speed

• Wavelength

Factors that affect a wave's speed are:

• crest & Trough

• Frequency & Amplitude

• Amplitude & Wavelength

• Frequency & Wavelength

The material a wave travels through is called the

• Amplitude

• Medium

• Disturbance

• Antinode

If the speed of a wave remains constant, what will frequency be if the wavelength is shortened by half?

• Increase

• Double

• Halves

• Decrease

By counting the number of crests that pass by a given point in a certain amount of time, a person can calculate the wave's

• Tension

• Speed

• Wavelength

• Frequency

The frequency of a wave is measured in __________________. 

• inches
• hertz
• periods
• eras

In what type of wave does the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave?

• surface wave
• longitudinal wave
• transverse wave
• electromagnetic wave

What are the highest parts of a transverse wave called?

• amplitude
• trough
• resting point
• crest
