Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes a transverse wave?

• A transverse wave is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.

• A transverse wave is a wave in which the disturbance is parallel to the direction the wave travels.

• A transverse wave is a wave that only travels through liquids.

• A transverse wave is a wave that does not require a medium.

Multiple Choice

What is the main difference between the two waves shown in the image labeled A and B?

• Wave A has a higher amplitude than Wave B.

• Wave B has a higher amplitude than Wave A.

• Wave A travels a longer distance than Wave B.

• Wave B travels a longer distance than Wave A.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes the relationship between amplitude and the appearance of a wave on a heart monitor?

• High amplitude means high waves or spikes, low amplitude means lower waves or spikes.

• High amplitude means the wave moves faster, low amplitude means the wave moves slower.

• High amplitude means the wave is blue, low amplitude means the wave is red.

• High amplitude means the wave is flat, low amplitude means the wave is jagged.

Open Ended

Are amplitude and energy directly related? Explain your answer.

Open Ended

How are amplitude, distance, and wavelength different from each other in the context of a wave?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements about frequency is correct?

• Frequency is the number of times the pattern repeats in a given amount of time.

• Frequency is the distance between two crests of a wave.

• Frequency is the height of the wave from the rest position.

• Frequency is the speed at which a wave travels.

Multiple Choice

What unit of measurement do we use to measure frequency and speed?

• Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz) and speed is measured in meters per second (m/s).

• Frequency is measured in meters and speed is measured in seconds.

• Frequency is measured in seconds and speed is measured in Hertz (Hz).

• Frequency and speed are both measured in meters.
