electromagnetic wave
mechanical wave
ocean wave
any way can do this
- 6. Multiple Choice

- 10. Multiple Choice
Transverse waves move mediums
at a right angle
in a circle
and matter too
at an acute angle
- 11. Multiple Choice
Longitudinal waves move:
at a right angle compared to the direction the wave is traveling
in a circle compared to the direction the wave is traveling
matter
in the same direction as the wave is traveling

What happens to the frequency of a wave when the amplitude is tripled?
the frequency is tripled
the frequency is a third of what it was
amplitude does not affect frequency
- 17. Multiple Choice
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
- 18. Multiple Choice
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
