What is the wavelength?

• length between crest to crest or trough to trough

• the height of a wave

• how fast the wave goes

• the amount of times a wave passes through a certain point

What is the crest of a transverse wave?

• the lowest point of the wave

• the middle of a wave

• the highest point of a wave

• nothing

What is the amplitude of a wave?

• how often a wave passes a certain point

• the distance from the middle of the wave to a crest or a trough
