wavelength

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

amplitude

crest

trough

wavelength

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

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 is the correct equation for calculating the speed of a wave?

T = 1/f

Speed= Wavelength x Period

Speed = Wavelength/Frequency

Speed= Wavelength x Frequency

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest frequency?

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest wavelength?
