Waves Exam

regular disturbances that carry energy through matter or space

• crest
• energy
• wave
• trough

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

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength

The type of waves that require medium to pass:

• 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.

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest frequency?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Electromagnetic waves include the following except

• radio waves

• X-rays

• ocean waves

• microwaves

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

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

All waves carry

• energy
• light 
• matter
• particles

Which type of wave is pictured here?

• Longitudinal
• Transverse
• Light 
• Electromagnetic

Which type of wave moves parallel to the direction of the wave?

• transverse

• longitudinal

• surface

• electromagnetic
