Waves 11 a

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

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

The highest point on a wave is:

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

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

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

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

1.  A wave has frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 10 m. What is the speed of the wave?

• 500 m/s
• 50 m/s
• 5 m/s
• 0.5 m/s

What type of wave is this?

• Longitudinal
• Transverse

The distance from trough to trough or crest to crest

• Frequency
• Wavelength
• Distance
• Amplitude

Sound is an example of which type of wave?

• Transverse
• Longitudinal
• Both
• Neither

1.  A wave has frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 10 m. What is the speed of the wave?
