Which of the following illustrations is closely associated to waves formed in a rope?
How do you call a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place?
wave
vibration
motion
speed
In a transverse wave, what is the movement of the individual particles of the medium?
elliptical
parallel to the direction of travel
perpendicular to the direction of travel
move in circular patterns
Which of the following quantities is transferred during wave propagation?
mass
speed
energy

Which statement describes what happens as wave pass by?
Particles of the medium vibrate transferring energy as wave passes.
Objects transfer with the waves as it travels.
Particles of the medium vibrate and travel together with the wave.
Objects on which wave passes absorbs energy and allow the particles to transfer.
Which of the following statement is TRUE about a longitudinal wave?
The particles within it move parallel to the direction of the wave.
The areas where the particles is spread out is called compression.
It has areas where particles are close together called rarefactions.
The particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
How does a wave travel through a medium?
The energy of the wave passes from particle to particle.
The particles of the medium are carried along with the wave.
The medium transfers electromagnetic energy.
The wave increases the potential energy of the medium.
Which of the following is an example of a longitudinal wave?
x-ray
microwave
sound wave
infrared
As part of the activity in your Science class, you are asked to create waves out of a rope. How will you be able to create wavs and how will you describe the waves formed?
Move the rope side to side and waves formed are in back and forth motion.
Move the rope up and down and the waves will move perpendicular to the movement of the hand.
Up and down movement of the rope will create waves forming circular patterns.
Just hold the rope and waves will just pass by.
