When the oscillations are ​ (a)   or from side to side like those above, the waves are called ​ (b)   . In transverse waves, the ​ (c)   are at ​ (d)   to the direction of travel.

Choose from the below words
up and down
transverse waves
oscillations
right-angles
2.

Click on the longitudinal wave:

3.

The ​ (a)   of the waves is measured in metres per second (m/s).


​ (b)   This is the number of waves passing any point per second. The 

SI unit of _____ is the ​ (c)   .


​ (d)   This is the distance between any point on 

a wave and the equivalent point on the next.


​ (e)   This is the maximum distance a point moves 

from its rest position when a wave passes.


Choose from the below words
speed
Frequency
hertz
Wavelength
Amplitude
4.

What is the Frequency if the wavelength is 3 meters and the speed is 15m/s

(answer is in hertz)

5.

Sound waves are ​ (a)   . The air ​ (b)   backwards and 

forwards as the compressions and ​ (c)   pass through it. When a 

compression passes, the air pressure rises. When a rarefaction passes, the pressure falls. The distance from one compression to the next is the ​ (d)   .
