The highest point of a wave is called the:

• Trough

• Amplitude

• Crest

• Frequency

The higher the pitch, the higher the:

• wavelength

• volume

• amplitude

• frequency

The longer the wavelength, the lower the

• frequency and pitch

• volume and amplitude

Turning up the volume on the speakers increases the:

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Amplitude

• Pitch
