Waves and Wave Properties

The highest part of a transverse wave is

• the crest

• the trough

• the wave point

• the hotel transylvania

The lowest part of a transverse wave are the

• crests

• troughs

• wave points

• low nodules

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is its

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• velocity

The height of the wave from its resting point is called its

• wavelength

• amplitude

• velocity

• frequency

A wave that needs a medium to travel is called a(n)

• electromagnetic wave

• mechanical wave

• ocean wave

• any way can do this

A wave that can travel with or without a medium is called a(n)

• electromagnetic wave

• mechanical wave

• surface wave

• all waves can travel in any way

How often a wave occurs is the wave's

• frequency

• amplitude

• wavelength

• velocity

Transverse waves move mediums

• at a right angle

• in a circle

• and matter too

• at an acute angle
