Waves Middle School

The lowest point on a wave is the:

• Amplitude

• Crest

• Trough

• Wavelength

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

• frequency

• period

• longitudinal 

• transverse wave 

The type of waves that require medium to pass:

• Mechanical Waves

• Electromagnetic Waves

When the frequency of a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?

• The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.

• The wavelength increases.

• The wavelength decreases.

• More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.
