The lowest point on a transverse wave is the

• compression

• crest

• rest position

• trough

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

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

What kind of wave is this?

• electromagnetic

• longitudinal

• transverse

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

What type of wave is pictured?

• Transverse wave

• Longitudinal wave

• Wave, what wave?

• Slinky wave
