MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 5 pts
The red dot represents a point on a rope. As a transverse wave moves through the rope, which picture shows how the dot will move?
Answer explanation
In transverse waves, particles (in this case, the rope) moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. The wave moves from left to right, which the rope itself moves up and down.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

A high frequency is a wave that...
is tall; there is a big distance between the highest and lowest points
is long; there is a long distance from one crest to the next
is thin; there is a short distance from one crest to the next
is short; there is a small distance between the highest and lowest points
Answer explanation
Frequency is how quickly a wave passes in one second. If the crests are close togther, more of them will pass in one second
