Waves Pt. 1

What property of this wave is represented by the letter "A"

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength

The highest point on a wave is:

• the crest

• the trough

• the top

• the coast

The lowest point on a wave is the:

• Amplitude

• Crest

• Trough

• Wavelength

The type of waves that require medium to pass:

• Mechanical Waves

• Electromagnetic Waves

The number of wavelengths that pass a point each per second is:

• transverse wave

• period

• longitudinal

• frequency

A mechanical wave cannot travel through...

• a vacuum (empty space)

• water

• air

• glass

The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together. This wave is moving in this direction

• rarefaction

• compression

• crest

• trough

A part in a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart

• compression

• trough

• crest

• rarefaction

This wave has the second highest frequency on the spectrum.

• microwaves

• visible light

• x-rays

• gamma ray

The higher the frequency the _____ the energy.

• higher

• lower

• neither, stays the same
