🔍 Key Concepts

• Ocean wave terminology: crest, trough, wavelength, period, frequency • Relationship between time and rate (events per second vs seconds per event) • Common physics terms used to describe repeating motions like waves or pendulums

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: the question says time interval between crests. Are you looking for how often per second they arrive, or how many seconds between arrivals? • Think about the difference between something measured in seconds versus something measured in cycles per second. • Consider what each option means in basic science or physics class, especially when talking about waves or repeated events.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is defined as a time interval (measured in seconds). • Eliminate any term that describes a position on the wave rather than a time value. • Verify that your choice is the standard term used in basic wave motion or physics of waves to describe time between repeating points.
