What property of the wave is represented by the letter "B"?

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

The highest point on a wave is:

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

The lowest point on a wave is the:

• Amplitude
• Crest
• Trough
• Wavelength

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

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

A mechanical wave cannot travel through...

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