Sample Question:
Waves are
described in terms of their height, wave-length,
and period. “Height” is the vertical distance
between the high point of a wave crest and the
low point of the adjacent trough. “Wave-length”
is the distance from one crest to the next, and
“period” is the time it takes two adjacent
crests to pass a fixed point, such as the end of
a pier. The mathematics of wave theories are
usually concerned with relationships between
these and related characteristics.
The passage best supports the statement that
waves
a.
flow in the ocean. b. can be described by
their characteristics. c. have a high
trough. d. are a major mathematical
calculation.
