This is the highest point of a wave.
What is a crest?
100
This is the amplitude of the wave if each square represents 1m.
What is 3m?
100
This wave property affects how loud our quiet a sound is.

Is this wave transverse or longitudinal?
What is longitudinal?
100
True or false: Pitch of a sound wave depends on the frequency of the wave
What is true?
200
This word means the distance a wave or particle moves from its resting point or the line of origin.

What is wavelength?
400
This letter measures the amplitude.
What is B?
400
A sound with a high, squeaky pitch would most likely have a (high/low) frequency.
