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

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

The type of waves that require a medium to pass through:

• Mechanical Waves

• Electromagnetic Waves

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.
