Transverse wave consist of .....................

• compressions and rarefactions

• troughs and rarefactions

• compressions and crests

• crests and troughs

The longitudinal wave consist of .....................

• compressions and rarefactions

• troughs and rarefactions

• compressions and crests

• crests and troughs

Water waves are transverse waves because the particles of the medium .......................

• do not vibrate

• vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation

• don't need a medium to propagate through

• vibrate along the direction of wave propagation

All of the following are electromagnetic waves except .........waves

• light

• sound

• microwaves

• radio

..................... is (are) mechanical waves

• water waves only

• sound waves only

• microwaves only

• water and sound waves

The highest point of particles of the medium in traverse wave is known as ..........................

• the crest

• the trough

• the compression

• the rarefaction

Rarefaction is the area of the medium, at which the medium particles .................

• don't vibrate

• are too close to each other

• are faraway from each other

• vibrate up and down

The distance between two successive crests or two successive troughs in the transverse wave is ...............

• wavelength

• wave velocity

• amplitude

• frequency

............. is the maximum displacement of medium particles away from its rest position.

• wavelength

• frequency of the wave

• amplitude of the wave

• wave velocity

.................. is the measuring unit of wave velocity.

• meter

• meter/second

• second

• hertz
