Waves Review

In a wave, what is the highest point?

• trough

• crest

• amplitude

• wave

This measures the distance between wave peaks or troughs. The closer the peaks of the waves are to each other, the more energy the waves have.

• trough

• amplitude

• longitudinal wave

• wavelength

This type of wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels

• transverse waves

• longitudinal waves

This type of wave vibrates in the same direction that the wave travels

• transverse waves

• longitudinal waves

This is the lowest point of a wave

• trough

• crest

• wave

• amplitude

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
