NGSS.MS-PS4-1

The lowest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

Which property of a mechanical wave would change if you changed the amount of energy the wave had?

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• wave speed

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

If the wavelength of a wave increased, what would happen to the frequency?

• decrease

• increase

• stay the same

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

The number of waves that pass somewhere in a second is:

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

A wave that can travel through matter and empty space is a:

• electromagnetic wave

• longitudinal wavy

• transverse wave

NGSS.HS-PS4-3

Water waves are unique because they:

• are transverse waves

• are longitudinal waves

• carry energy

• are combination waves

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

As a longitudinal wave moves forward, the particles move:

• perpendicular to the wave's motion

• parallel to the wave's motion

• stand in one place

• move completely down the spring

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is its

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• velocity
