Introduction to Wave -Y8 SRP

Match the following

• Time taken by a particle to make one complete oscillation

• Transversal Wave

• A moving wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

• Longitudinal Wave

• A disturbance in a medium that carries energy from place to place.

• Frequency

• The number of complete oscillations made in one second

• Period

• The waves where the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as the travelling wave

• Wave

Match the following words with its definition

• The distance traveled by a wave during the time in which a particle makes one complete oscillation

• Wavelength

• distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave

• Amplitude

• regions of low pressure due to particles being spread further apart

• Rarefraction

• regions of high pressure due to particles being close together

• Compression

How many oscillation does a transversal wave have when it has one crest and one trough

• 1 oscillation

• 2 oscillation

• 1/2 oscillation

• 1/4 oscillation

A longitudinal wave has 1 compression and 1 rarefraction, how many oscillation does the wave have?

• 2 oscillation

• 1 oscillation

• 1/2 oscillation

• 1/4 oscillation

What is the example of longitudinal Wave?

• Light

• Sound

• Oscillating Pendulum

• Water ripple

Peak position above 0 point in transversal wave is called

• Crest

• Trough

• Rarefraction

• Compression

The lowest point below resting position in transversal waves is calles

• crest

• trough

• rarefraction

• compression

A longitudinal oscillation in spring is example of

• Transversal Wave

• Longitudinal Wave

• Electromagnetic Wave

• Wavelength

Speed of wave is the ratio between ​ (a)   and ​ (b)  

• Wavelength
• period
• Frequency
• amplitude
• longitudinal wave
• transversal wave

In transversal wave, a wavelength defines as distance of one ​ (a)   and one ​ (b)  

• Crest
• Trough
• Rarefraction
• compression
