Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all work for calculations.
1. Which of the following is a characteristic of a transverse wave?
Particles oscillate parallel to the wave direction.
It requires a medium to travel.
Particles oscillate perpendicular to the wave direction.
It can only travel through a vacuum.
2. The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave is called the:
Amplitude
Frequency
Wavelength
Period
3. The of a wave is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
4. Sound waves are an example of waves, where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
5. Electromagnetic waves require a medium to travel.
True
False
6. The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its period.
True
False
7. Define a wave and describe the two main types of waves.
8. A wave has a frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 0.5 m. Calculate the speed of the wave.
