Science-Sound Wave

A transverse wave moves along a rope. The diagram show the position of the rope at one particular time. Which two labelled points are one wavelength apart?

• W and X

• W and Z

• X and Z

• Y and Z

The diagram shows four waves drawn to the same scale. Which statement is correct?

• The amplitude of wave P is the same as the amplitude of wave R

• The amplitude of wave S is double as the amplitude of wave Q

• The wavelength of wave Q is double as the wavelength of wave P

• The wavelength of wave S is the same as the wavelength of wave Q

Which row shows an example of a transverse wave and an example of longitude wave?

• 
• 
•

A boy throws a small stone into a pond. Waves spread out from where the stone hits the water and trevel to the side of the pond.

The boy notices that eight waves reach the side of the pond in a time of 5.0 s

What is the frequency of the waves?

• 0.20 Hz

• 0.63 Hz

• 1.6 Hz

• 40 Hz

The waves frequency mean...

• number of waves in one time unit

• time to reach one wave

• ratio of wavelength and amplitude

• difference of wavelength and amplitude

One wave in transverse wave consist of

• one crest and one trough

• one compression and one rarefaction

• one crest and one rarefaction

• one compression and one trough

One wave in longitudinal waves is consist of....

• One crest and one trough

• One compression and one rarefaction

• One crest and one compression

• one trough and one rarefaction

Time to reach one wave is called

• amplitude

• frequency

• period

• wavelength

Loudness of sound is impact from its

• frequency

• wavelength

• period

• amplitude
