What property of this wave is represented by the letter "A"

amplitude

crest

trough

wavelength

What property of the wave is represented by the letter "B"?

amplitude

crest

trough

wavelength

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

frequency

period

longitudinal

transverse wave

When the frequency of a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?

The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.

The wavelength increases.

The wavelength decreases.

More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest wavelength?

regular disturbances that carry energy through matter or space

crest

energy

wave

trough

________________ is the speed at which a wave travels.
