wave
frequency
What type of wave is this?
Compressional
Transverse
Longitudinal
Sound
Which parts of the wave are the arrows pointing to?
Crest
Trough
Compression
Rarefaction
Which wave has more energy? Why?
Top wave because the amplitude is smaller
Bottom wave because the amplitude is larger
They are the same because the wavelengths are equal
Top because the rarefactions are closer together
Which wave has a greater wavelength?
Top wave
Bottom wave
They are the same
