- Q1If asked to describe a wave, you could say waves are themovement of particles within a medium.continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.repetitive transfer of particles from one medium to another.disturbance of energy in a material.45s
- Q2The source of all wave motion is aregion of variable high and low pressure.wave pattern.harmonic object.vibrating object.45s
- Q3The maximum displacement of a particle by a wave is calledPeriod.Frequency.Wavelength.Amplitude.45s
- Q4As a transverse wave travels through a medium, it displaces the particlesvertically along the same plane as the wave.parallel to the direction of the wave motion.horizontally along the plane that the waves travels.perpendicular to the motion of the wave.45s
- Q5In order to determine the wavelength, you must know the distance from thetrough of one wave to the crest of the next wave.midpoint of a wave to the highest point of the next wave.the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave.crest of the wave to the equilibrium of the same wave.45s
- Q6The number of cycles per second describes the waves'Wavelength.Equilibrium.Amplitude.Frequency.45s
- Q7The vertical displacement of the wave is measured from thetrough to the trough and is called the wavelength.equilibrium to the crest and is called the frequency.crest to the trough and is called the amplitude.equilibrium to the crest and is called the amplitude.45s
- Q8Which statement best describes the movement of particles when a wave travels through a medium? The particles aregathered by the energy of the wave and move along in the direction of the wave.moved along in a forward motion with the wave as it travels through the medium.permanently displaced in a direction opposite to the direction of the wave.temporarily displaced and return to their normal position when the wave passes.45s
- Q9We can determine the velocity of a wave when given the frequency and theWavelength.Trough.Amplitude.Equilibrium.45s
- Q10Longitudinal waves travel through a series of ________ and ___________.oscillations; propagationsdestructions; constructionscompressions; rarefactionsdisturbances; oscillations45s
