• matter

• people

The highest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

The lowest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

The number of waves that pass somewhere in a second is:

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

#1 refers to the

• wavelength

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

Longitudinal waves move:

• at a right angle compared to the direction the wave is traveling

• in a circle compared to the direction the wave is traveling

• matter

• in the same direction as the wave is traveling

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?

• the wavelength would be halved

• the wavelength would be doubled

• the wavelength would stay the same

• frequency does not affect wavelength
