Describe how sound waves are produced.

• By the reflection of light
• By waves travelling through air particles

• By the vibration of an object
• By the rotation of the Earth

Identify which is the correct speed for a light wave, measured in metres per second.

A wave with a frequency of 50 Hz has a wavelength of 3.5 m. Calculate the wave speed and type your working out into the calculator.

Use the equation:

wave speed = frequency x wavelength

Mathematical Equivalence

For transverse waves, the direction of energy trasfer is (a)   to the oscillation of the particles. An example of a transverse wave is a ​ (b)   wave.

For longitudinale waves, the direction of energy transfer is ​ (c)   to the oscillation of the particles. An example of a longitudinal wave is a ​ (d)   wave.
