Longitudinal Compression waves move in the direction of the wave.(They are parallel to the direction of the wave)

• True

• False

A wave that has the vibration perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called:

• Longitudnal Wave

• Transverse Wave

• crest

• trough

• rarefaction

• compression

The wavelength can be measured from ( check all that apply)

• Distance from Crest to Crest

• Distance from Crest to Trough

• Distance from Trough toTrough

• Distance from Crest to midpoint
