1. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a mechanical wave?
Requires a medium for transmission
Transfers energy
Can travel through a vacuum
Causes particles to oscillate
2. The maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position in a wave is called the:
Wavelength
Frequency
Amplitude
Period
3. A wave in which the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation is called a wave.
4. The number of complete oscillations or cycles per unit time is known as the of a wave.
5. Sound waves are examples of waves, as they require a medium to travel.
6. Differentiate between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave. Provide an example for each.
