10-Adv. Lesson - Wave Properties

What does a wave carry from place to place?

• energy

• matter

• people

The highest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

#2 refers to the

• wavelength

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

The length of a wave, from crest to crest or trough to trough. (D)

• Frequency

• Wave speed

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

#3 refers to the

• wavelength

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

What medium do sound waves travel fastest through?

• Solids

• Liquids

• Gases

What is the correct formula for wave speed?

• Wave speed = frequency x wavelength

• Wave speed = amplitude x wavelength

• Wave speed = amplitude x period

• Wave speed = frequency x period

• 3
• 4

Which image represents a longitudinal wave?

• A

• B

These waves have the same

• amplitude
• frequency
