1.1 Quizizz Wave Practice

Which wave is a transverse wave?

• The wave on top.

• The wave on bottom.

Which wave is a longitudinal wave?

• The wave on top.

• The wave on bottom.

In a longitudinal wave the particles move...

• in the same direction as the wave travels.

• perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.

In a transverse wave the particles move...

• in the same direction as the wave travels.

• perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.

Which of the following are example of transverse waves?

• light

• ocean waves

• sound waves

Which of the following are examples of longitudinal waves?

As the period of a wave increases, what happens to the wave's length (wavelength)?

• the wavelength increases

• the wavelength decreases

As the period of a wave increases, what happens to the wave's frequency (I said it, frequency)?

• the frequency increases because the waves become more frequent.

• the frequency decreases because the waves become less frequent.
