Waves Review

When the frequency of a a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?

• More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength

• The wavelength increases

• The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.

• The wavelength decreases.

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest wavelength?

• 1

• 3

• 2

• 4

• air.

• a vacuum (empty space).

• glass

• water.

Which of the following can sound travel through?

• solid

• gas

• liquid

• all of the above

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

• period

• longitudinal

• transverse wave

• frequency

Regular disturbances that carry energy through matter or space

• energy

• trough

• crest

• wave

When a wave strikes and object and bounces off.

• interference

• medium

• reflection

• X-rays

• radio waves

• doing the wave at a football game

• microwaves

Crest to crest or trough to trough
