Savvas Topic 5: Waves & Wave Properties

Waves that require a material to travel though are called

• electromagnetic waves

• mechanical waves

• ocean waves

• transverse waves

• I do not know and do not wish to answer.

Which image represents a longitudinal wave?

• A

• B

The type of waves that require medium to pass:

• Mechanical Waves
• Electromagnetic Waves

The highest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

The number of waves that pass somewhere in a second is:

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

Transverse waves move mediums

• at a right angle

• in a circle

• and matter too

• at an acute angle

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest wavelength?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

What does a wave carry from place to place?

• energy

• matter

• people

The lowest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

Transverse waves have:

• crests and troughs

• troughs and rarefactions

• compressions and contractions

• rarefactions and crests
