Wavelength x Frequency =

• Wave Speed

• Velocity

• Amplitude

• Crest height

If a wave has more amplitude

• it has less energy

• it has more energy

• energy isn't affected

• the sound is quieter

A low pitched sound has

• has a high frequency

• has a wide wavelength

• has a low wavelength

• has a low frequency

The number of waves that pass by in 1 second is called

• wavelength

• frequency

• amplitude

• the wave's crest

Amplitude is

• the width of a wave

• the speed of a wave

• the height of a wave

• the sound of a wave
