• mechanical wave

• surface wave

• all waves can travel in any way

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?

• the wavelength would be halved

• the wavelength would be doubled

• the wavelength would stay the same

• frequency does not affect wavelength

The highest part of a transverse wave is

• the crest

• the trough

• the wave point

• the hotel transylvania

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is its

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• velocity

The height of the wave from its resting point is called its

• wavelength

• amplitude

• velocity

• frequency
