Intro to Waves & Pendulums

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

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

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

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

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

What do waves carry from place to place?

• Energy, but not matter or particles
• Energy and matter or particles
• Matter or particles but not energy
• Neither energy nor matter or particles

regular disturbances that carry energy through matter or space

• crest
• energy
• wave
• trough

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

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

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

All waves carry

• energy
• light 
• matter
• particles
