Waves

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

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

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.

A mechanical wave cannot travel through...

• a vacuum(empty space).
• water.
• air. 
• glass.

Which letter(s) represent the trough of the wave?

• A
• B & D
• D
• C & G

Which letter(s) represent the crest of the wave?

• A
• B & D
• B & F
• F
