How often a wave occurs is the wave's __________________

• crest
• frequency
• wavelength
• resting point

The distance between 2 corresponding parts of a wave  (example- crest to crest) is its _____________________

• trough
• frequency
• amplitude
• wavelength

As the frequency of a wave increases, the __________________ decreases.

• amplitude
• resting point
• wavelength
• crest
