Wave Forms and Properties

The highest part of a transverse wave is

• the crest

• the trough

• the wave point

• the hotel transylvania

The lowest part of a transverse wave are the

• crests

• troughs

• wave points

• low nodules

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is its

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• velocity

The height of the wave from its resting point is called its

• wavelength

• amplitude

• velocity

• frequency

Longitudinal waves have:

• crests and troughs

• crests and compressions

• compressions and rarefactions

• troughs and rarefactions

Transverse waves have:

• crests and troughs

• troughs and rarefactions

• compressions and contractions

• rarefactions and crests

How often a wave occurs is the wave's

• frequency

• amplitude

• wavelength

• velocity

Longitudinal waves move:

• at a right angle compared to the direction the wave is traveling

• in a circle compared to the direction the wave is traveling

• matter

• in the same direction as the wave is traveling

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength

• True, amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength

• False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength

• False, crests can increase or decrease wavelength
