• None of the above

It is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time.

• wave

• wave length

• frequency

• wave frequency

The SI unit for wave frequency is _______________.

• Hertz

• Joules

• mph

• grams

________ is a waves in which the medium moves at right angles to the direction of the wave.

• amplitude

• compressional waves

• transverse waves

• wave frequency

It refers to the distance between two successive identical parts of the wave.

• wave length

• amplitude

• frequency

• displacement

This refers to the maximum displacement from the neutral position.

• wave length

• displacement

What is the difference between transverse waves and longitudinal waves?

• Transverse waves follow the direction of the wave while longitudinal waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

• Transverse waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the motion while longitudinal waves stops the medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave.

• Transverse waves stop the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave while longitudinal waves cause the medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave.

• Transverse waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave while longitudinal waves cause the medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave.

A wave which needs a medium to propagate itself is called ______________.

• Tidal wave

• Sound wave

• Mechanical wave

• Electromagnetic wave
