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

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

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 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.
