Multiple Choice

What causes the wave to form?

• The wrench or metal rod moving up and down creates a disturbance in the string.

• Potential energy from the string is converted to kinetic energy.

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between oscillate mode and pulse mode?

• In pulse mode, the wave is continuous. In oscillate mode only a single disturbance is created in the string.

• In oscillate mode, the wave is continuously oscillating. In pulse mode, only a single disturbance is created in the string.

Multiple Choice
