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

What would happen to the frequency is the wavelength was tripled?

• the frequency would be a third of what it was

• the frequency would be 3 times larger

• the frequency would stay the same

• the wavelength does not affect the frequency of a wave

A wave that needs a medium to travel is called a(n)

• electromagnetic wave

• mechanical wave

• ocean wave

• any way can do this

A wave that can travel with or without a medium is called a(n)

• electromagnetic wave

• mechanical wave

• surface wave

• all waves can travel in any way

Longitudinal waves have:

• crests and troughs

• crests and compressions

• compressions and rarefactions

• troughs and rarefactions

Transverse waves move mediums

• at a right angle

• in a circle

• and matter too

• at an acute angle

Particles in water in an ocean wave move

• in a square

• in a right angle

• in a circle

• in a dodecahedron
