Test: Waves and Sound

A traveling disturbance that transfers energy from one point to another.

• Period
• Frequency
• Wave
• Pulse
• Wavelength

A single disturbance traveling through a medium.

• Period
• Frequency
• Wave
• Pulse
• Wavelength

The amount of time it takes to make on complete oscillation.

• Period
• Frequency
• Wave
• Pulse
• Wavelength

If wave velocity increases and wavelength remains constant, the period will:

• Increase
• Remain the same
• Decrease
• Depend on the amplitude

Constructive interference results in:

• Lower amplitude
• Higher amplitude
• No amplitude change
• Wave cancellation

What causes the alternating loud and soft sounds heard as beats?

• Differences in wave speed
• Differences in wave amplitude
• Constructive and destructive interference

• Changes in medium density

The number of waves that pass a fixed point per unit of time.

• Period
• Frequency
• Wave
• Pulse
• Wavelength

Any wave that requires a medium.

• Transverse Wave
• Longitudinal Wave
• Mechanical Wave
• Electromagnetic Wave

Any wave where the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of travel.

• Transverse Wave
• Longitudinal Wave
• Mechanical Wave
• Electromagnetic Wave

Any wave that does not require a medium.

• Transverse Wave
• Longitudinal Wave
• Mechanical Wave
• Electromagnetic Wave
