• Wavelength

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

• Amplitude

• Crest

• Trough

• Wavelength

The highest point on a transverse wave is:

• Amplitude

• Trough

• Crest

• Wavelength

The lowest point on a transverse wave is:

• Amplitude

• Trough

• Crest

• Wavelength

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

• frequency

• period

• wavelength

• amplitude

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
