Wave

The lowest part of a transverse wave are the

• crests

• troughs

• wave points

• low nodules

A wave that needs a medium to travel is called a(n)

• electromagnetic wave

• mechanical wave

• ocean wave

• any way can do this

A wave that can travel with or without a medium is called a(n)

• electromagnetic wave

• mechanical wave

• surface wave

• all waves can travel in any way

Longitudinal waves have:

• crests and troughs

• crests and compressions

• compressions and rarefactions

• troughs and rarefactions

Transverse waves move mediums

• at a right angle

• in a circle

• and matter too

• at an acute angle

Particles in water in an ocean wave move

• in a square

• in a right angle

• in a circle

• in a dodecahedron

What happens to the frequency of a wave when the amplitude is tripled?

• the frequency is tripled

• the frequency is a third of what it was

• amplitude does not affect frequency
