The distance between 2 corresponding parts of a wave  (example- crest to crest) is its _____________________

• trough
• frequency
• amplitude
• wavelength

How often a wave occurs is the wave's __________________

• crest
• frequency
• wavelength
• resting point

Any material that a wave travels through is called a ____________________.

• vibration
• compression
• medium
• crest

What are the highest parts of a transverse wave called?

• amplitude
• trough
• resting point
• crest

In what type of wave does the medium move perpendicular to the movement of the wave?
