Waves and Information Transfer

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

A wave that can travel through matter and empty space is a:

• electromagnetic wave

• longitudinal wavy

• transverse wave

Which statement best describes the relationship between the amplitude of a wave and its energy?

• The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its amplitude.

• The energy of a wave is inversely proportional to its amplitude.

• The energy of a wave is not related to its amplitude.
