What happens when a mechanical wave travels through a medium?

• Waves are transferred
• Energy is transferred
• Mass is transferred
• Particles are transferred

Which is true of a mechanical wave?

• It must have a medium

• It must travel in empty space.

• It can travel in a vacuum.

Which type of wave has a wave perpendicular to the disturbance?

• surface

• mechanical

• transverse

• longitudinal

Unlike a transverse wave, the disturbance in a longitudinal wave is

• in a circular motion.
• parallel to the wave motion.
• perpendicular to the wave motion.
• in the opposite direction of the wave motion

What is the resulting direction of a surface wave?

• parallel
• circular
• opposite
• perpendicular

Unlike a longitudinal wave, the disturbance in a transverse wave is

• perpendicular to the wave motion.
• in a circular motion.
• parallel to the wave motion.
• in the opposite direction of the wave motion.

A transverse wave can be created in a Slinky^® by moving it

• up & down

• in a circular motion.

• together and apart.

When on a flat surface, giving the Slinky^® a push or pulse will create a disturbance

• in the opposite direction of the wave motion.
• parallel to the wave motion.
• in a circle.
• perpendicular to the wave motion.

Which is true about a surface wave?

• It only has properties of longitudinal waves.
• has neither properties of transverse or longitudinal waves.
• It has properties of both transverse and longitudinal waves.
