Waves and Energy

The distance between one crest and the next crest is the wave's

• amplitude
• wavelength
• frequency
• speed

the number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's

• amplitude
• frequency
• wavelength
• speed

The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies are

• radio waves.

• infrared rays.

• X-rays.

• gammy rays.
