• amplitude

• volume

• frequency

• wavelength

What is the frequency of a wave?

• The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough.

• The height or depth of a wave.

• The number of waves produced in a given amount of time.

• The speed at which a wave travels.

Counting the number of troughs of sound waves that pass every second is measuring what part of a wave?

• Amplitude

• Wave height

• Wave frequency

• Wavelength

Frequency means?

• A few waves pass at different points

• How many waves pass a fixed point

• Counting how many waves pass in a minute

• Timing how many vibrations there are in a minute
