Q3 - Waves

Speed = wavelength x frequency
The speed of a wave on a rope is 50 cm/s and its wavelength is 10 cm. What is the wave's frequency?

• 50 cm/s
• 5 Hz
• 10 cm

The distance from trough to trough or crest to crest

• Frequency
• Wavelength
• Distance
• Amplitude

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place

• Energy
• Wave
• Force
• Motion

The material through which a wave travel 

• trough
• medium
• crest
• vibration

Waves that move the medium at right angels to the direction in which the wave travel

• Longitudinal Waves
• Compressional Waves
• Transverse Waves

Wave __________ is the number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.

• Frequency
• Wavelength
• Amplitude
• Compression

the maximum distance that the particles of the medium carrying the wave  move away from their rest position

• frequency
• wavelength
• hertz
• amplitude

Which wave has a greater frequency?

• A
• B

What is vibration?

• how loud a sound is
• the back and forth movement of matter
• how high or low a sound is
• the loudness or softness of a sound

A wave that can only travel through matter is called:

• solid waves

• longitudinal waves

• transverse waves

• mechanical waves
