Revision on The Nature of Waves

Waves carry _____________ from one place to another

• air

• energy

• life

• electrons

There are __________ kinds of waves

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5

Two kinds of waves exist:

• Velocity and Wavelength

• Protons and Neutrons

• Longitude and Transverse

• Long and Short

This wave is made up by vibrations perpendicular to the direction of the wave

• Transverse wave

• Longitudinal wave

This wave is made up by vibrations parallel to the direction of the wave

• Transverse wave

• Longitudinal wave

A transverse wave is made up of

• compressions and rarefactions

• crests and troughs

• ups and downs

• short and long

A longitudinal wave is made up of

• compressions and rarefactions

• crests and troughs

• ups and downs

• short and long

The distance between 2 successive crests or troughs is called

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• periodic time

The number of complete oscillations in 1 second is called

• frequency

• amplitude

• wavelength

• periodic time

The unit of frequency is the

• metres (m)

• Hertz (Hz)

• seconds (s)

• m/s
