    30s
  • Q2
    What is the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
    They are independent
    They are inversely proportional

  • Q3
    What is the unit of amplitude?
    Meters
    Watts
    Seconds
    Hertz
    30s
  • Q4
    What is the formula for calculating the speed of a wave?
    Speed = Frequency / Wavelength
    Speed = Frequency + Wavelength
    Speed = Frequency x Wavelength
    Speed = Wavelength / Frequency
    30s
  • Q5
    What type of wave is visible light?
    Electromagnetic wave
    Longitudinal wave
    Mechanical wave
    Transverse wave
    30s
  • Q6
    What is the unit of frequency?
    Watt
    Meter
    Newton
    Hertz
    30s
  • Q7
    What is the formula for wavelength?
    Wavelength = Speed + Frequency
    Wavelength = Speed / Frequency
    Wavelength = Speed x Frequency
    Wavelength = Speed - Frequency
    30s
  • Q8
    In the GCSE ripple tank required practical, what is the purpose of using a stroboscope?
    To measure the amplitude of the waves
    To observe the stationary wave pattern
    To determine the speed of the waves
    To calculate the frequency of the waves
    30s
  • Q9
    In the GCSE ripple tank required practical, what is the purpose of using a ruler?
    To measure the wavelength of the waves
    To determine the speed of the waves
    To control the depth of the water
    To calculate the frequency of the waves
    30s
  • Q10
    Which of the following factors affects the wavelength of water waves in the GCSE ripple tank required practical?
    Frequency of the waves
    Amplitude of the waves
    Depth of the water
    Speed of the waves
    30s
  • Q11
    In the GCSE ripple tank required practical, what is the purpose of using a frequency generator?
    To measure the amplitude of the waves
    To determine the speed of the waves
    To control the frequency of the waves
    To observe the stationary wave pattern
    30s
  • Q12
    What is the purpose of the lamp in the GCSE ripple tank required practical?
    To illuminate the waves produced
    To determine the speed of the waves
    To observe the stationary wave pattern
    To measure the amplitude of the waves
    30s
  • Q13
    What is the purpose of using a white card in the GCSE infrared required practical?
    To absorb infrared radiation
    To emit infrared radiation
    To block infrared radiation
    To reflect infrared radiation
    30s
  • Q14
    What is the relationship between the temperature of an object and the amount of infrared radiation it emits?
    The temperature has no effect on the amount of infrared radiation emitted
    The higher the temperature, the less infrared radiation it emits
    The higher the temperature, the more infrared radiation it emits
    The temperature determines the color of the infrared radiation
    30s
  • Q15
    What is the purpose of using a black object in the GCSE infrared required practical?
    To emit infrared radiation
    To block infrared radiation
    To absorb infrared radiation
    To reflect infrared radiation
