Waves Review Physics

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

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

• frequency

• period

• longitudinal 

• transverse wave 

A mechanical wave cannot travel through...

• a vacuum(empty space).

• water.

• air. 

• glass.
