Multiple Select

Mark all that are true of a Mechanical Wave.s

• They can be transverse

• They can be longitudinal.

• They can propagate in a medium.

• They can propagate in a vacuum.

• They are composed of high energy particles.

Multiple Select

Which of the following statements are true? Mark all that apply.

• Electromagnetic waves move slower than mechanical waves.

• A mechanical wave needs a medium to travel.

• An electromagnetic wave can travel through a vacuum.

• Electromagnetic waves are transverse but mechanical waves are ONLY longitudinal.

Multiple Choice

What property of the wave is represented by the letter "B"?

• amplitude
• crest
• trough
• wavelength

Multiple Choice

What property of this wave is represented by the letter "A"

• amplitude

• crest

• trough

• wavelength

Multiple Choice

The highest point on a wave is:

• the crest
• the trough
• the top
• the coast 

Multiple Choice

The lowest point on a wave is the:

• Amplitude
• Crest
• Trough
• Wavelength

Multiple Choice

The number of wavelengths that pass a point each per second is:

• frequency
• period
• longitudinal 
• transverse wave 

Multiple Choice

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest frequency?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Multiple Choice

Which wave in the diagram has the greatest wavelength?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Multiple Choice

Which wave has a greater frequency?

• A
• B

Multiple Choice

Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...

• they are always the same

• when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)

• there is no correlation

• they both vary in an irregular pattern
