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 has the shortest wavelength?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Which wave has highest frequency?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Which statement is correct about the wave shown in the diagram?

• It is a transverse wave because the particles are moving perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

• It is a transverse wave because the particles are moving parallel to the motion of the wave.

• It is a longitudinal wave because the particles are moving perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

• It is a longitudinal wave because the particles are moving parallel to the motion of the wave.

The wavelength can be correctly measured as...

• the distance from crest to consecutive crest

• the distance between two consecutive points of equilibrium

• the horizontal distance from crest to trough

• The vertical distance from crest to trough
