Wavs

The highest point on a transverse wave is:

• the crest

• the trough

• the top

• the coast 

The lowest point on a wave is the:

• Amplitude
• Crest
• Trough
• Wavelength

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.
